Required for all employees and volunteers at our school by VA state law. This link will take you to 4 pages that must be printed out then filled in neatly with no mistakes or white-out. Be sure that your name exactly matches your legal name on your driver’s license. When you have completed these steps scan & send by email or bring the forms back to the principal or secretary of Desmond T.

BECAUSE THIS CHECK CAN TAKE UP TO 8 WEEKS TO BE PROCESSED ONCE THE DSS RECEIVES THE FORM, PLEASE BE SURE TO TAKE CARE OF THIS COMPLIANCE REQIREMENT FIRST.
