  24. Educator Certification Exam Retake limit CHANGE • Texas Education Code §21.048 limits candidates to four attempts to retake any educator certification examination. • A subsection of the law, which currently counts all attempts of the same examination taken before September 1, 2015 as only one attempt, is set to expire. • Beginning September 1, 2018, all attempts of the same examination will count toward the five-attempt testing limit regardless of when the examination was first attempted.

  25. Testing Information

  27. Records Retention Schedule • Minimum retention periods for records normally placed in personnel and pay­roll files. • Incorporate the periods established by the Texas State Library and Archives Commission (TSLAC) or prescribed by federal and state law, rule, or regulation. • Board policy CPC Legal • Local record control schedule must meet these minimum retention periods. • Information on records management requirements is available on the Texas State Library Web Site (http://www.tsl.state.tx.us/).

  28. FBI Civil Rap Back Program • Texas Department of Public Safety (DPS) Fingerprint-based Applicant Clearinghouse of Texas (FACT) • In the past, the subscription service only notified an entity of new activity to a Texas criminal history record. • Effective January 15, 2018, the FBI Civil Rap Back program allows an entity to receive notification of new activity to a criminal history record at the national level. • An employee is eligible for an FBI Civil Rap Back if they were fingerprinted after June 1, 2015. • An employee fingerprinted before June 1, 2015 must be re-fingerprinted to become eligible for the FBI Rap Back program. • There are no additional fees for creating a Rap Back subscription on an eligible employee.

  29. School district impact – FBI rap back • Districts must determine whether or not to require new hires and existing employees who were fingerprinted prior to June 1, 2015 to be re-fingerprinted. • If they are not re-fingerprinted, the district wouldn’t be notified of an event that occurs with an individual outside of Texas. • If a district chooses to re-fingerprint its current employees, cost will be a major consideration. • Districts will need to determine which employees will be reprinted and when it will be done. • One option is to reprint in phases based on job groups. • While there is no requirement to use the FBI Rap Back program, the risk of not enrolling will also need to be considered.
