Fingerprint Clearance Requirement

Arizona state law now requires any person who participates in a teacher preparation program that is approved by the Arizona State Board of Education to obtain a fingerprint clearance card before participating in field experience in which services will be provided directly to pupils. Although Rio Salado College and Scottsdale Community College are the only State Board approved colleges in the Maricopa County Community College District, many school districts are requiring that college students be fingerprinted PRIOR to participating in field experiences at their schools.
