FINGERPRINTING INFORMATION FOR SUBSTITUTE TEACHERS AND CLASSIFIED SUBSTITUTES

Senate Bill 9, also known as the "Fingerprinting Bill" was signed into law by Governor Perry in Fall 2007. This bill requires that all substitute teachers and classified substitutes undergo a national criminal history record information review by the Texas Education Agency (TEA). SBISD's date for compliance has not been identified. Once the date has been announced, more information will be provided regarding the process and the following will be required:

• Payment of the up-front fees associated with the fingerprinting process. The cost is from $51.00 - $53.00 depending on method of payment.
  
  
• Do not start the fingerprinting process prior to notification from the Substitute Office.
  
  
• Individuals who have already submitted fingerprints for the TEA criminal history review will not need to complete the process again.
