Background Checks for Educators

Although teachers are at the forefront of education, employees like bus drivers, volunteers, counselors, and administrative staff all make an impact on the students. That’s why comprehensive background checks are crucial: to make sure you’re provided with detailed summaries on who will be working with faculty and students. We are experts in the federal and state requirements for background screenings for your faculty and we know what benefits you the most during your hiring process.

Your job is to ensure the well-being of your students so that they stay safe and secure in the classroom. Our job is to provide you the confidence that you are choosing qualified and trustworthy candidates for the job.
