Approve New Fingerprinting Fees and Recommended Changes from Previous Board Approved Jessica Lunsford Act Guidelines of March 8, 2005.

Effective July 1, 2007, Senate Bill 988-High Risk Offenders provided allowable changes for districts to consider. Our district has decided to continue current fingerprinting and background check requirements, and will not adopt the statutorily allowed changes with the exception of: Contract employees who work, and at all times remain, in an area separated from students by a chain link fence that is at least six feet high, will not be subjected to fingerprinting and background screening requirements. This exception will be determined through the Facilities Department as a part of the bid process. Contractors to whom this exception applies will be responsible for maintaining the required fence, and for ensuring that workers do not enter any part of the school site which is beyond the fence. Failure of the contractor to meet this requirement will void the contractor's exemption. (See attachment.)

All District Goals and Critical Success Factors.

Effective October 1, 2007, Level II fingerprinting fees will be $80.25, plus a district administrative fee of $4.75 for a total of $85 per person. This fee will be the responsibility of the individual contractor/vendor.
