Background Checks

Background Checks

Background checks are required for every employee in all Ohio schools.

• Two types of background checks are required:
• BCI (Ohio Bureau of Criminal Identification/Investigation) and
• FBI (Federal Bureau of Investigation) Fingerprinting.
• New employees must have a BCI and FBI Fingerprinting before employment starts.

• Current employees must update their FBI fingerprinting every five [5] years.

• Background checks are reported to your school, the Ohio Department of Education [ODE] or Ohio Department of Jobs and Family Services [ODJFS].
  • To the ODE for teachers, aides and administrators.
  • To the ODJFS depending on the early childhood department’s state requirements.

 

The JEC no longer provides background checks or fingerprinting at our facility.

Please contact the Jewish Family Service Association [JFSA].
