LICENSED EMPLOYEE CHECKLIST

  1. ARKANSAS TEACHER CERTIFICATE: copy of your valid teaching certificate. A contract cannot be issued without a current teaching certificate. A background check is required for certification and employment.

  1. SOCIAL SECURITY CARD: We must have a copy of your social security card for you to receive your first paycheck. It is essential that your name always be on record exactly as it appears on your card. The name on your social security card is the name you will be contracted and paid under.

 

  1. CURRENT DRIVER’S LICENSE: We must have a copy for employment eligibility verification.

 

  1. LETTER OF RELEASE: A letter from the school district that you were employed at last year releasing you from any and all other teaching contracts.
