__**Help Us Grow-Lizz Johnson and Jennifer Magee**__

Greetings: At its special called meeting this past Tuesday, the Craven County Board of Education approved a recommendation from HRS to remove the fingerprint requirement from our Criminal Background Check Policy #710.1802. We are pleased that employees and volunteers will no longer be required to complete a fingerprint card as part of their background check! Effective August 1, 2011, we will begin using M & K Researchers to conduct our background checks. The revised process (attached) will simply require that new employees and volunteers complete their respective online Employment Application or Volunteer Application, and press "submit" for transmission to HRS. In addition, the individual will also complete the "Notification of Release" form which I have attached. Once the "Notification of Release" form has been completed and signed, the employee or volunteer should submit it to HRS. This can be done via fax or by regular mail. Once HRS has the release form on file, it takes approximately 24-48 hours to complete the background check! This change in procedure not only reduces our costs but also streamlines the background check process and allows us to operate in a more effective and efficient manner. Angela Frazier will continue to be your HRS contact person.
 * School Volunteer Process -**

Attached are the procedural revisions and a copy of the DRAFT Notification and Release form. Once the board's attorney has reviewed this form, we will upload the procedural revisions and the form to the district's website. So do not make hard copies of the Notification form just yet.

I am sure that you, your HUG coordinator, along with our new employees and volunteers, will welcome this revision. Thank you, Craven County Board of Education, for taking this task off our plates! Hallelujah!!!
