4121 - CRIMINAL HISTORY RECORD CHECK

Prior to making any offer of employment to a new applicant, the following procedure is to be used:

 A.The applicant will be asked to arrange for fingerprinting with Oakland Schools, located at 2111 Pontiac Lake Road, Waterford, MI, 48328 or an agency which uses fingerprinting procedures acceptable to the Michigan State Police.
 B.Oakland Schools or the fingerprinting agency will provide the applicant with a date, time and location for the procedure.
 C.Cost of the criminal background record check is determined by the Michigan State Police and is the responsibility of the potential employee. Oakland Schools or the fingerprinting agency will notify the applicant of the current cost, plus any processing fee at the time s/he is requested to submit to the criminal background check. The applicant will be expected to bring acceptable payment, valid form of identification, and the completed fingerprinting information sheet provided by the district. The criminal background checks required by State law must be performed.
 D.Oakland Schools or the fingerprinting agency will capture the fingerprints and personal information and transmit the data to the Michigan State Police. The Michigan State Policy will perform the check on the State database and forward the criminal history check to the FBI, if required by statute for the position. Michigan State Police will mail the record directly to the District, not the applicant.
 E.All information received from the fingerprint check shall be kept confidential by the person receiving the report and is to be shared only with the Superintendent, Executive Director of Human Resources or Director of Human Resources. If the applicant is subsequently employed, the record check shall be kept in a District confidential file.
 F.If the records show that an applicant has been convicted of any of the crimes described in 380.1539b, the Human Resources Department shall report such conviction to the Michigan Department of Education.
