STEP 5: FINGERPRINTING REQUIREMENT
Fingerprinting Requirement Overview

As part of the onboarding process at Framingham Public Schools, all subcontractors must undergo fingerprinting for criminal background screening purposes. This requirement was implemented based on state law (H.4307) to expand background checks across school districts.

Validity Period: Fingerprints do not expire as long as you remain within the same district. If you were fingerprinted by a different district, the background check is valid for up to 7 years from the original date.
