1.2+Background+Checks

 As of November 14, 2007, the Ohio Department of Education requires that whenever any license is initially applied for or renewed, current (within 365 days) electronic BCII (Ohio) and FBI background checks must be on file with the Office of Teacher Licensure.
 * //__1.2 Background Checks __//**

This also applies to anyone new to substitute teaching. Even if you do not need to apply for a substitute license, as a new substitute, you will have to make sure you have current (within 365 days), electronic BCII and FBI background check results on file with ODE.

Hardcopies of both background checks should be submitted to the ESC with the other documents required for subbing. Electronic fingerprinting for both the BCII (Ohio) and FBI background checks can be done through our office by appointment only. **//Background checks are payable by exact cash or personal check to “SCESC” and must bring valid Driver’s License to appointment.//**


 * //If you need a copy of your check(s) that were done at our office, you will have to call to arrange to pick them up from our office during regular business hours. We are no longer permitted to mail them to your home address.//**
