Fingerprinting

Pursuant to Florida Statute 1012.32, individuals with criminal records involving moral turpitude shall not be employed in any position requiring direct contact with students.   All applicants will be digitally fingerprinted and cleared before they are hired by Miami-Dade County Public Schools (M-DCPS).  The fingerprints are sent electronically to the Florida Department of Law Enforcement (FDLE) and the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) for processing.  If a report is returned stating there is a criminal history, the applicant will be asked to explain the charge(s) and provide a certified or original copy of the final court disposition. The current Employment Standards Hiring Guidelines gives a detailed listing of offenses that will/will not be considered for employment.
