Request for Criminal Record Check - Act 34

 

Section 1-111 of the Pennsylvania School Code requires that all applicants for school employment, including those of independent contractors but excluding employees who do not have direct contact with students, must obtain a criminal background check. All applicants are required to submit a Request for Criminal Record Check to the Pennsylvania State Police. The results will be returned directly to you and must be submitted to the school entity you seek employment.

 

Criminal reports may be obtained electronically from the Pennsylvania State Police. The Pennsylvania Access to Criminal History (PATCH) Invoice for Criminal Record Check, which has a copy of the State seal embedded on the paper, is an official record check.

 

Pennsylvania Access To Criminal History

 

 Federal Criminal History Record - Act 114

 

As of April 1, 2007, Act 114 of 2006 requires that ALL prospective employees of public and private schools, including their independent contractors and employees but excluding employees who do not have direct contact with students, undergo background checks. Applicants must submit their background check reports to prospective public and private school employers. The law also requires student teachers to undergo background checks and present their reports to their higher education institution before field experience.

 

ALL public and private schools must review the background check reports, including the federal criminal history record information (CHRI) reports of all prospective employees and independent contractors who will have contact with children.

 

The Commonwealth of Pennsylvania has switched to a new electronic fingerprinting vendor, IDEMIA, for Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) criminal history background checks. IDEMIA began processing FBI criminal history checks on November 28, 2017. For registration and fingerprint location, please visit the IDEMIA website.

 

Payment - The applicant will pay a fee of $24.95 for the fingerprint service and to secure an unofficial copy of the Criminal History Record. Major Credit Cards and money orders or cashier’s checks payable to MorphoTrust will be accepted on-site for applicants who must pay individually. No cash transactions or personal checks are allowed.

 

Pennsylvania Child Abuse History Clearance - Act 151

 

In addition to the criminal background check, Sections 6354-6358 (Act 151) of the Public Welfare Code requires that all applicants for school employment, Pennsylvania residents and non-residents, also obtain a Child Abuse History Clearance. This request is submitted to the Pennsylvania Child Welfare Information Solution. The Pennsylvania Child Abuse History Clearance Form (CY 113) may be obtained from the school to which you are applying for employment or by following the link to the PA Department of Human Services.

 

Registration and Payment - A secure website is provided for individuals who want their Pennsylvania Child Abuse History Clearance processed online. The Pennsylvania Child Abuse History Clearance Check will provide the applicant information as to whether or not they are listed in the Pennsylvania statewide database as a perpetrator of child abuse. The Child Abuse History Clearance requires payment of $13.00.
