    You will be charged $14.95, payable with credit card, for this background check which will be valid for 2 years from approval date.

    This group of visitors will not require the formal background check but you will need to follow regular school check-in procedures.  

    HHSC staff members will not need to complete this additional background check to visit district schools as they have already completed an advanced criminal background check for employment.  

    All approved visitors will have a picture taken at each visit and receive a badge that must be visibly worn at all times. 

    All visitors must return to the main office and check-out at the front desk. 

    Thank you for your support in keeping our schools safe.
