CRIMINAL HISTORY BACKGROUND CHECK:

The Department of Public Instruction (DPI) is required by law to conduct a background check on each applicant for a Wisconsin educator license/permit regardless of whether it is an initial request or a renewal request. The primary purpose of a background check is to determine if the applicant has engaged in any behavior that endangers the health, welfare, safety or education of pupils.
Because a background check is a required step in processing all license/permit applications, all applicants must:

• Complete a Conduct and Competency questionnaire which is thoroughly completed, including all required documentation and information.
• If an applicant meets the requirements specified on the first question of the Conduct and Competency, submit fingerprints.
• If there is some type of misconduct that needs to be reported, you will need to prepare and attach a written explanation of what happened, and, when applicable, gather and SCAN complete copies of any related criminal complaint, criminal judgment, police reports, disciplinary letters/findings, correspondence, etc., as applicable.
