Fingerprints/Suitability Determination Request
Under Massachusetts law, ALL school-related personnel with the potential for unsupervised contact with children as well as subcontractors/laborers commissioned by schools to perform work on school grounds, individuals who regularly provide school-related transportation to children, and anyone providing child care or support services, are subject to fingerprint-based state and national background checks as a condition of employment. Unlike CORI, this check will examine criminal activity in all states, not just Massachusetts.
The Statewide Applicant Fingerprint Identification Services (SAFIS) IdentoGO registration website is used to schedule fingerprint appointments. Please visit http://www.identogo.com to register yourself for an appointment at one of the approved locations. During the registration process, you will be required to provide an Oxford Public Schools Organization Code (also called the Provider ID Number). The number for Oxford Public Schools is as follows: 02260000
School volunteers are not required to submit their fingerprints for the national check (unless chaperoning an overnight field trip) but they must continue to submit to state CORI background checks.
If you are seeking a Suitability Determination for a current or former Oxford Public Schools employee or subcontractor, please forward your request via email to the Oxford Public Schools staff member listed below.
If you are a new employee or subcontractor of the Oxford Public Schools and need to obtain your Suitability Determination from another public school district, we suggest that you contact that district directly and ask their personnel staff to send the Suitability Determination to the OXPS staff member listed below.
