Employee Background Checks

All employees are required to obtain background checks under Utah State Office of Education R277-500 (teachers)

and R277-516 (all other employees). Background checks must be processed at the district office as the required state background check is very specific to the type of background check that must be done.

VOLUNTEERS: Volunteers who spend more than 80 hours of time with students during any school year must also undergo a background check BEFORE access to students in schools can occur.

Background checks must be conducted BEFORE the assignment begins.
