Fingerprinting Requirements for Public School Employees
Ensuring community safety is vital at Wellesley Public Schools. We require all potential and current employees, as well as student teachers, to undergo fingerprinting for a national criminal record check. This process extends beyond a standard CORI check, allowing us to make informed hiring decisions. It complies with legal standards and maintains confidentiality, reinforcing our commitment to a safe environment.
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’s a $35 fee for non-licensed employees and a $55 fee for DESE Licensed Professionals. Substitutes must also submit fingerprints for checks and will pay the $55 fee if they hold educator licenses; otherwise, they pay $35. Keep your fingerprint receipt as proof of completion. If you have already been fingerprinted, please a request to your previous employer and email or mail it to us at askhr@wellesleyps.org or ruana@wellesleyps.org
