Fingerprinting/Background Check

Senate Bill 9 (SB 9), which was passed by the 80th Legislature and became law on June 15, 2007, requires expanded criminal history information reviews for most classes of educators and school employees. Individuals required by Senate Bill 9 (SB 9) to submit fingerprint information to the Texas Department of Public Safety (DPS) are:

• All certified educators holding an educator certification issued by the State Board for Educator Certification (SBEC)
• All classroom substitute teachers and aides, whether certified or not. Noncertified employees hired by a district on or after January 1, 2008. The district can also require all employees to be fingerprinted at their discretion.
• Charter school employees, whether certified or not, who are working in a teaching or professional position that would require certification if they were employed in a traditional school district.
• Contractor employees hired before January 1, 2008, who has or will have continuing duties related to the contracted services and has or will have direct contact with students. Contractor employees include independent contractors and employees of subcontractors Hallsville has required all contractors having contact with students to be fingerprinted.
