Background Check
Candidates must undergo a criminal history background check prior to employment as an educator and/or prior to clinical teaching.
GoTeach11 does not offer an advisory opinion on one’s criminal history; however, under recent legislation (HB963-Guillen) SBEC is required to issue, upon request, a criminal history evaluation letter to persons contemplating entering a profession requiring a license. This will help individuals to determine if they would likely be denied a license/certification because of the criminal histories.
For additional information please contact SBEC Customer Service
