All new employees of the North Adams Public Schools you are required to submit to a national criminal background check by fingerprint. Unlike state CORI checks that have no associated fee, individuals will have to pay a fee to comply with this requirement. The fee currently is $55 for school employees licensed under Section 38G (DESE-licensed individuals employed as educators and specialists, and any other employee who holds DESE licensure, regardless of her/his position) and $35 for all others. Substitutes are school employees under the new law and therefore must submit their fingerprints for state and national checks. If substitute teachers hold educator licenses issued under MGL c. 71 § 38R, they will pay the $55 fee; otherwise they will pay the $35.00 fee.
