Fingerprinting
Before becoming an employee of the Pleasanton Unified School District you are required to be fingerprinted. Employees may not be placed at a work site until the District receives fingerprint clearance from the Department of Justice and FBI. Fingerprinting can only occur once an applicant has been offered employment. The PUSD Human Resources Division will provide the prospective employee with a Live Scan form to take to an outside agency. (Note: A list of outside fingerprinting services, locations, and hours of operation are available to the public).
Rolling fees vary from location to location and cover only the operator’s cost for rolling the fingerprint images. Additional processing fees are required for the State (DOJ) and Federal (FBI) level criminal history record checks. Other fees may also be required (i.e., license fees).
The City of Pleasanton Police Department also offers fingerprinting services.
Applicants must present valid photo identification (e.g., Driver’s License) to the Live Scan Operator. Expired identification cards will not be accepted.
