Vendor Support Information

Criminal Background Check

All vendors who will be providing a service that will be in direct or indirect contact with students must complete the Background Check Form for each person who will be employed and paid with Texas Private School GEER Grants funds. Below is the criminal history release form, and it needs to be uploaded into the Background Check Form for each applicant each school year.

Our Human Resources department receives all names on Friday at 9:00 a.m. Any name submitted prior to Friday at 9:00 a.m. will be processed, and the 3rd party contractor will receive an email within 7 business days of who is approved, not approved, and still needs to be fingerprinted.

Per Guidance (Federal and State): Anyone (including police and security personnel) working on a campus and/or around student(s) that is being paid with Texas Private School GEER Grants funds, MUST complete the Region10 Criminal Background Check (which includes fingerprinting) AND have Approval from the R10 EANS team to be around students PRIOR to employment. Region 10’s Human Resources department runs background checks weekly, and 3rd party vendors are provided an approval list weekly.
