RESPONSIBILITY OF EMPLOYEE

Obtaining, updating and filing of a valid license is the responsibility of all certificated employees. It is REQUIRED that personnel meet the requirements for renewal and updating of their license by following the procedures in the ESC’s Professional Development Manual.

It is also the responsibility of the Educational Aide to make sure a current education aide permit is updated yearly. Our office will assist you, but that does not relieve you of the responsibility to have a valid permit.

ALL applicants for licensure are required to submit an Ohio BCI civilian background check AND FBI background check from the Federal Bureau of Investigation. The Ohio Department of Education IS NOT able to accept paper reports. All background check reports must be submitted via electronic submission. Employees of the ESC may be fingerprinted at the ESC office. Employees must make an appointment and are responsible for the cost of fingerprinting.
