4. Is OSPRA able to receive and use a criminal conviction even if it has been sealed under 鈥淭he Clean Slate Act鈥�?

A: Yes. Convictions sealed pursuant to N.Y. Criminal Procedure Law 搂 160.57, commonly referred to as 鈥淭he Clean Slate Act鈥�, are accessible to and can be used by OSPRA in reviewing prospective school employees for employment in a covered school and in reviewing the moral character of those seeking or holding certification.

If an individual seeks school employment (includes public school, private school, Charter School and BOCES) in either a certified position or a non-certified position and has received fingerprint clearance from NYSED, does that guarantee that the individual is free of any criminal conviction(s)?

A: No, a prospective employer should be aware that听an individual can be cleared for employment even with a criminal conviction(s) history.听If the NYSED criminal history record check (DCJS/FBI) reveals that an applicant for employment has a criminal conviction then an analysis must be conducted by NYSED in accordance with the standards set forth in Executive Law 搂296(16) and the Correction Law 搂752 and 搂753 to determine whether a clearance should be issued.听

9. If an individual seeks school employment (includes public school, private school, Charter School and BOCES) in either a certified position or a non-certified position but has had action taken against his/her teaching certificate in 澳门特码王 or in another state (e.g. annulment, revocation, suspension, denial, or surrender), can the prospective employer obtain information relevant to such action?

A: Yes.听 A prospective employer can supplement the NYSED criminal history fingerprint clearance process by considering all publicly available information when screening individuals for employment.听 Many adverse actions against an educator鈥檚 certification do not result in a criminal conviction, therefore, a standard fingerprint background check may not reveal administrative action taken against an educator's certification. For example, it is feasible that an educator who had adverse moral character action taken against his/her 澳门特码王 certification or another state certification, could apply for a听non-certified听position in a public school, private school, Charter School or BOCES. Such publicly available information may be obtained from the following sources:

• 鈥橬ASDTEC Educator Identification Clearinghouse鈥� is a national searchable database that provides information regarding individuals who have had his/her educator鈥檚 certification annulled, revoked, suspended, denied, or surrendered (*read-access-only membership now available to school districts and Local Education Agencys (LEA) for a subscription fee).
• is a search tool that provides information, to any interested party, regarding individuals who have had Part 83 鈥榤oral character鈥� action taken against his/her 澳门特码王 educator鈥檚 certification or application for certification.听 [8 NYCRR Part 83 and/or 8 NYCRR Part 80]
