Colleges and Universities
Degrees and transcripts submitted to NISD for review must be granted from colleges and universities accredited by the U.S. Department of Education. Other colleges are not recognized for hiring and salary assignment purposes.
Fingerprinting
Texas law requires that all prospective school employees submit to a fingerprint supported criminal history background check and be cleared for employment.
If you are offered a position in a Texas school district, you will be required to pay a non-refundable fee to submit a fingerprint supported criminal background check prior to beginning employment. If you have already been fingerprinted by L1-ESD for either TEA-Certifed or TEA-Non-certified purposes, then you may be exempt from this requirement. Fingerprinting performed by other entities or agencies will not be accepted.
