That was for the FBI background check for a substitute teaching license.
It was also done a month before for a different region of the state department of education.
Each region does their own, which seems a waste of money, but it's what they do.
I was amazed how fast the results come back.
The second one was done on a Tuesday & on Thursday they called to say the background check came back clean. (No surprise to me.)
The only time I got fingerprinted was for a similar vetting to take a temporary role as a consultant to the DoD (Army Corps of Engineers) & ATF for the decommissioning of an arsenal and elimination of obsolete inventory. (Mistly Vietnam era ordinance.
