Criminal Background Checks

All candidates seeking employment must submit both Ohio Bureau of Criminal Investigation (BCI) and FBI criminal background checks. Your background checks must be no older than one year (365 days) at the time the Department issues your initial credential.  Additionally, everyone who holds a credential issued by the Ohio Department of Education must complete FBI background checks every five years. Please note that credential holders are responsible for obtaining required updated background checks within the five-year timeframe prescribed by law, even if the expiration date of a background check does not coincide with the expiration date of the Department-issued credential.
 
You will need to stop in the Board of Education Office located at 457 Shelby-Ontario Road, Ontario, OH 44906 between the hours of 8:00 am to 3:00 pm Monday-Friday for fingerprints free of charge. This will take approximately 10 minutes to complete. Please bring with you your Ohio Driver's license and your Social Security Card.
 
If you have your fingerprints done elsewhere, you will need to make sure the results are sent electronically to the Ohio Department of Education and a copy sent to Ontario Local Schools Board of Education at 457 Shelby-Ontario Rd, Ontario, OH 44906.
