Charter school education corporations have an ongoing obligation to clear all employees prior to employment by means of a fingerprint-supported criminal background check through the New York State Education Department’s Office of School Personnel Review and Accountability including janitors, security personnel and cafeteria workers who are present when children are in the school building.
The Institute Staff is ready and willing to answer your questions and share resources and best practices.
Please direct all communication (written, electronic or telephone) to the Albany Office.
Our shared email inboxes serve as a direct portal to our internal teams that manage any processes you may have questions about.
Information on the Institute’s Complaint Process and submitting a FOIL request can also be found on our website.
