Clearances for School Employment
In 2015 new clearance requirements went into effect requiring clearances be updated every 60 months. Additionally, a break in service from employment would require updated clearances (for example a substitute that is no longer able to sub then wants back on the sub list constitutes a break in service from employment).
When obtaining clearances for employment with the Intermediate Unit or school district the purpose is "School Employment." Frequently asked questions regarding the required clearances for school employment and the forms may be found through the PA Department of Education website.
