LICENSED EMPLOYEE CHECKLIST

 

Immediately after you are hired by the Board of Education you will need to stop by the Superintendent’s Office and complete the following paper work. Not complying with the Arkansas School Law required paper work could result in your contract/paycheck being withheld.

 

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.

 

2. OFFICIAL TRANSCRIPT: An official transcript showing the degrees earned and the official seal of the college or university on it.

 

3. 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.

 

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

 

5. 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. If you were under contract to a school district in Arkansas last year, we need a letter even though you may not have signed a contract for the current year.

  

6. BIRTH CERTIFICATE: If you are not already a member of Arkansas Teacher Retirement, we must have a legible copy of your birth certificate that will be mailed to teacher retirement (a hospital record will not be accepted).
