PA State Police Criminal Clearances (Act 34)

Pennsylvania Child Abuse Clearances (Act 151)

Federal Criminal Clearance (FBI Fingerprinting Act 114)

If the school volunteer has been a resident of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania for the entirety of the previous 10 years, they may complete the Waiver of FBI Criminal Background Check instead of obtaining the FBI Fingerprinting. This waiver can be obtained from the PCS Office.

Please turn in hard-copies of your clearances to the PCS Office. Any questions may be directed to office@philaclassical.org.
