Besides providing the required paperwork, you must be fingerprinted and have an accepted criminal background check to receive security clearance. The employee is responsible for paying the fee for the fingerprinting and background check via money order. Employee Services will schedule your fingerprinting. Employee fingerprinting and background checks must be repeated every five (5) years. Contact the Human Resources Division at (404) 802-2300 with any questions.

In accordance with Board policy, the fee for this criminal records check is the responsibility of the contractor/Intern. Therefore, each individual must bring with a money order or cashier’s check in the amount of $45.00, payable to Atlanta Public Schools as well as an unexpired form of photo identification (i.e. driver’s license, state-issued identification card, Permanent Resident Card, or a US Passport).

All APS employees are assigned an e-mail account. It is each employee’s responsibility to check e-mail on a regular basis and to maintain and archive e-mail records as required by the APS Records Retention Schedule. For details, please contact Client Support at [email protected] or (404) 802-1000.
