Background Check Policy
As required under Idaho Code section 16-1632(3) and Idaho Juvenile Rule 35(k), all prospective employees whose job duties require (1) daily direct contact with program participants, or (2) supervision of program participants, must have a background check. Generally, this includes all staff and program volunteers. Board members are also required to complete a background check.
