GENERAL REQUIREMENTS (Upon Offer of Employment)

Employment Verification: Federal law requires that the District verify the identity and employment authorization of each person hired, complete and retain a Form I-9, Employment Eligibility Verification, and refrain from discriminating against individuals on the basis of national origin or citizenship.

Tuberculosis Risk Assessment: Individuals selected for employment are required to submit to a tuberculosis risk assessment, and, if risk factors are identified, may be required to submit to a tuberculosis examination to determine freedom from tuberculosis.

Physical Exam: The District reserves the right to require a prospective employee to pass a job related physical examination.

Conviction Information and Fingerprints: State law requires that all selected candidates be fingerprinted to check for and/or verify conviction records. California Education Code prohibits a governing board of a school district from employing a person until the Department of Justice completes its check of the criminal history file (and the Federal Bureau of Investigation when required). California Education Code provisions prohibit the employment of persons convicted of a violent or serious felony, and also govern the employment of individuals convicted of specified sex and/or controlled substance offenses. All candidates with a conviction record for offenses other than minor traffic violations, must file a conviction record statement with their application. A record of conviction will not automatically disqualify an individual from employment. Failure to disclose any conviction which has not been officially expunged per California Penal Code \xc2\xa71203.4, will result in disqualification or dismissal.

Other: Eligibles will be required to provide a current DMV report and/or proof of auto insurance to the Classified Human Resources Department before being certified for a final selection interview for positions that require the employee to drive a district vehicle and/or hold a valid California driver\'s license.
