I agree to fully cooperate in providing and recording as many sets of my fingerprints as is necessary for such an investigation. I authorize the school to conduct a criminal records check. I understand and agree that any offer of employment that I may receive from the school is conditional until the school has received the background information, including criminal background information.

I understand that this application for employment is valid for no more than 120 days. After that, I must resubmit an application in order to be considered for positions at this school. I understand that this is only an application for employment and that no employment or employment contract is being offered at this time.
