Background Checks
CLICK THE ABOVE LINK FOR A PRINTABLE BACKGROUND CHECK FORM
Please fill out the Background Check Form & return it to the office with payment. The form is also available, by request, in the Front Office.
The office must have an up-to-date Background Check on file if you plan to eat breakfast/lunch with your student or volunteer in any capacity at Ockerman Elementary. This includes fieldtrips, homeroom parties, assisting teachers, PTO volunteers, etc. The checks are completed electronically through the state of Kentucky and each check incurs a $10.00 fee. (Background checks are valid for two school years.) Please include a $10.00 check, money order, or cash with this form, payable to Ockerman Elementary School. Processing takes several weeks.
If you need your Background Check sooner, go to https://kycourts.gov/AOC/Information-and-Technology/Pages/Background-Checks.aspx & fill out an online request form for your Kentucky Court of Justice Criminal Background Check.
