New Substitutes Fingerprinting Instructions
The 80th Texas Legislature passed SB 9, which mandated the Texas Education Agency (TEA)/SBEC to acquire criminal history reports on: (1) all certified educators who are currently employed, (2) all substitutes, and (3) non-certified employees hired after January 1, 2008. In addition, SB 9 created a criminal history clearinghouse to facilitate access to criminal history information and provide updates on any subsequent criminal history activity.
You are currently in the Plano ISD database to become a substitute for the 2009-2010 school year upon completion of the required fringerprinting.

Background
Since October 2003, new applicants for certification have been required to submit fingerprints to the State Board for Educator Certification (SBEC) so that a national criminal history check can be conducted and submitted to the Department of Public Safety (DPS).
In January 2008, Plano ISD began the process of uploading the required information to SBEC for all non-certified new hires. SBEC returns what is referred to as a “FAST Pass,” which indicates an assigned number to create a record in the L-1 Identity Solutions—also known as—Identix and Integrated Biometric Technology (IBT), fingerprinting system. Note: L-1 is the vendor selected by TEA and DPS to conduct fingerprinting. When the new hire attends a new hire meeting, the required fingerprints are obtained. The FAST Pass is required in order to conduct the fingerprinting process. A driver’s license or state identification card is required as well.
