In accordance with state regulations as well as School Committee policy, the Wellesley Public Schools require all potential and current employees, as well as student teachers, to undergo fingerprinting for a national criminal record check.
New hires must register for a fingerprinting appointment at an enrollment center via the registration website. Substitutes and student teachers can provide up to 10 district organization codes to avoid multiple fees. There is a $35 fee for non-licensed employees and a $55 fee for professional licensed by DESE. Substitute educators must also undergo fingerprint background checks. If they hold a license, the cost will be $55; if not, the cost will be $35.
If you have already been fingerprinted, you may request that your previous employer send a letter of suitability to the Wellesley Public Schools via email to askhr@wellesleyps.org or ruana@wellesleyps.org. In order for a letter of suitability to be accepted, the date of fingerprinting must have been within the past 7 years, and another Massachusetts public school district must have been the original recipient of the fingerprinting results.
