3.6 CRIMINAL BACKGROUND CHECKS/SEARCHES

Texas Education Code (TEC) 22.0834 and 22.08341 states that a contractor that provides services to a school district or charter school must be fingerprinted before beginning work, if the contractor

1) will have continuing duties related to the contracted services, and

2) will have the opportunity for direct contact with students. Additionally, the law requires that a contractor certified to a school district or charter school that it has received all criminal history information for its employees who provide services for the school. Pursuant to 22.08341(c), the requirement does not apply to a contractor that performs construction, alteration, or repair of an instructional facility if the Contractor uses separate sanitary facilities, installs a barrier fence, and has a policy that employees may not interact with students or enter areas used by students.

Schools may fingerprint a contractor and/or Contractor’s employees using the Local Education Entity (LEE) Fast

Pass option. The Contractor shall agree to have individuals printed with the LEE pass, and also create subscriptions in the DPS FACT Clearinghouse under the authority of TGC 411.097/Public Law 92-544. The Contractor, however, will not be able to view the results through the DPS Clearinghouse. The Contractor shall bear the burden and cost of the Contractor obtaining a national, fingerprint-based criminal history check. A contractor or subcontractor may not work on District property or any location the District deems a place where students are regularly present when:

They have been convicted of a felony or misdemeanor involving moral turpitude, as defined by Texas law.

They have charges pending, they have been convicted, received probation, or deferred adjudication of any of the following:

1. Any offense against a child

2. Any sex offense

3. Any felony offense involving controlled substances

4. Any felony offense against property

5. Any other offense the District, in its sole discretion, believes might compromise the safety of student, staff, property, or reputation of the District by the employment of the Contractor.

A vendor’s violation of this section shall constitute substantial failure.

All vendors must give advance notice to the District if the person or an owner or operator of the business entity has been convicted of a felony. The notice must include a general description of the conduct resulting in the conviction of a felony. The District may terminate any resulting agreement if the District determines that the person or business entity failed to provide notice as required by this paragraph or misrepresented the conduct resulting in the conviction. The above requirement is required for all vendors who will provide a service to Dallas ISD and will be on District property. Awarded Vendors who do not have direct contact with students must have background checks and badges and must be done through the vendor's company or the District’s third-party provider, Field Control Analytics, at www.fcbackground.com/ clientsignup using project code VENDISD15 or be issued by the vendor's company. (This company may change at the sole discretion of the district.) Vendors who have direct contact with students must meet the laws and requirements of the State of Texas.
