School Background Checks

The Medford School District has an extensive background check process for prospective employees and volunteers. The district has a long list of crimes that cannot be on your record if you want to work for or volunteer in the district.

While the district demands applicants disclose their criminal history, Medford School District employee Susan Galpern says the district relies on police, the sheriff's office and the FBI for confirmation, "We run finger print checks on all of our employees, we have forms they fill out here that they take to the sheriffs department and those forms are sent to the state and the FBI."
