  7. Innovations in State Government • Education and School-Worker Fingerprinting and Background Check • The challenge • To protect school-aged children from individuals that may pose a threat by checking the criminal history of school district employees • The solution • A collaborative effort between TEA, DPS and school districts statewide that uses a secure system to collect and transmit fingerprint information that is then checked by DPS and the FBI for criminal records and forwarded to TEA for action • The benefits • A safer school environment • Expanded capability from 4,000 to 30,000 checks per month • All school district employees now checked for criminal history • On-going notification of any future offenses committed by any of the persons fingerprinted for this program
