Fingerprinting
As an employee of an Oregon School District, you need to be fingerprinted and pass a background check through the Oregon Department of Education (ODE). Beginning July 6, 2017 ODE is partnering with Fieldprint, to capture electronic fingerprints for all newly hired non-licensed school employees.
Make an fingerprinting appointment with Fieldprint
MESD does all of our fingerprinting through Fieldprint, a company with many convenient locations throughout the Portland area. You must create an appointment online to have your fingerprints completed (further instructions for creating an appointment below).
The cost due to Fieldprint at the time of scheduling your appointment online is $12.50. Please note, any cancellations within 24 hours of your appointment will result in a $12.50 charge in addition to the cost of a new appointment. All fingerprints must then be run through the Oregon Department of Education. The cost for this is $66.00 and can be deducted from your first paycheck. Please have your fingerprinting completed prior to your first day.
