Early Academy Staff
Classical Prep Early Academy staff goes through an extensive background check with the Nation Clearing house.
“The Department of Children and Families is one of seven state agencies that use the new statewide screening database, “The Clearinghouse.” The purpose of the Clearinghouse is to provide a single data source for background screening results for persons screened for employment or licensure that provide services to children, the elderly and disabled individuals. The Clearinghouse allows the results of criminal history checks to be shared among specific agencies when a person has applied to volunteer, be employed, be licensed (including foster parents), or enter into a contract that requires a state and national fingerprint-based criminal history check. The Clearinghouse provides numerous benefits to providers, including reduced costs and more up to date information. The Clearinghouse allows the results of criminal history checks to be shared among specified state agencies, thereby reducing duplicative screenings for individuals requiring screening across multiple state agencies.”
- Our facility requires at least 3 references as well as a recommendation letter.
