Frequently Asked Questions
Fingerprinting
Q: I have been fingerprinted before; do I still need to be fingerprinted again?
A. Yes. You must be fingerprinted by the employing agency and/or certification agency (i.e. the Commission on Teacher Credentialing). It is against the law for agencies to share confidential fingerprinting results with each other.
Q: How long does it take to get fingerprint clearance?
A: Clearance varies. Livescan results can take from 48 hours to a few weeks. However, sometimes the Department of Justice (DOJ) may issue a delay notification which allows the DOJ a 30 day period to process your fingerprints.
Substitutes
Q: How can I become a substitute teacher at the high schools?
