Next steps for Prospective Interns who match with LISD:

The Lewisville ISD Psychology Internship Program requires each matched Intern to sign an "Internship Acceptance Form," acknowledging that their Internship appointment and employment with the District is contingent upon successfully completing the District's hiring process. Every prospective employee of Lewisville Independent School District must go through the District's employment and hiring process, which includes undergoing and passing a background check, before being allowed to work in the district. Employment guidelines are established by LISD Board Policy DBAA (Local), which is accessible at this link: https://pol.tasb.org/Policy/Code/384?filter=DBAA . Lewisville ISD Board Policy states that the "District shall obtain criminal history record information on final candidates for employment. All District positions have the potential for contact with students. The District shall disqualify from employment a person whose criminal history indicates that the person poses a threat to students or employees. Consistent with business necessity, the District shall also disqualify from employment a person whose criminal history is otherwise inconsistent with the job duties of the position for which the person is being considered."  Each criminal history is reviewed on a case by case situation and the “pass/fail” determination is made based on the type of infraction as well as the time and frequency of the infraction. LISD does not conduct pre-employment drug testing. Decisions regarding employment are made by the Chief Human Resource Officer and Executive Director of Human Resources.   Each prospective employee is also required to complete an Employment Eligibility Verification Form (I-9) and produce documentation of their identity and authorization to work; presentation of their social security card is required for payroll purposes.  Lewisville ISD also reserves the right to refuse employment and/or terminate the contract of any intern who violates District policy, whose performance is deemed unsatisfactory, or upon notification by the intern's University that the intern has withdrawn from the University or is otherwise ineligible for the doctoral Psychology Internship Program.
