A list of Reportable Offenses can be found under 24 P.S. § 1-111(e) or can be obtained from the Human Resources Office. If an employee fails or refuses to submit this form, the district is required to submit the employee for a new background check. If information obtained through background checks reveal that the applicant is disqualified from employment or approval, the individual shall be immediately dismissed from employment or approval.
