Fingerprinting Requirements
The Governor signed into law the requirement for all public school employees to have a one-time national criminal background check. Unlike CORI, this check will examine criminal activity in all states including Massachusetts. You are required to submit your fingerprints for the national criminal background check.
All new employees must be fingerprinted before starting work.
The following information will help you get through the registration process. Please refer to the DESE Fingerprint Information Guide, located on the BPS Website, for more details before you register for an appointment to have your fingerprints taken.
**When you are asked for the "Provider ID” please enter the following code for Barnstable Public Schools: 00200000**
