• Research:  Criminal Background Checks

    To ensure student safety, individuals who want to conduct research in our schools must submit a background check. Before any research proposals which would necessitate non-CPS employees being in contact with students or on a CPS campus, these individuals must successfully pass the background check.  Background checks MUST be processed through 六合投注官网 Non-Employee Registration.  Research request decisions will not be released until background checks have been cleared. 

    Process

    • Submit Research Application:  Following receipt of the research application, a research identification number will be assigned to the request and sent to the researcher. 
    • Submit all the background checking applications for all researchers associated with the project via the Non-Employee Registration form.  Include the Research ID Number in the field titled Type of Volunteer Work or Researcher ID. Follow all instructions on the enrollment form for non-employee background clearance. At the end of the survey, be sure to follow the links and directions to complete the process.

    Send a list of researchers associated with your project to Shari Kraus at skraus@cpsk12.org

    Research request decisions will not be released until background applications have been cleared.

    In order to be in compliance with policy , a new researcher or research assistant to an approved research project must register via the Non-Employee Registration to be considered for clearance to interact with CPS Scholars.
