Background Checks
I work as a mentor for Lincoln Public Schools. A mentor (in this context) is basically a one-on-one teacher for children who are identified as highly gifted so that they can move at a faster pace through material and/or have the opportunity to do enrichment type of activities that a normal student wouldn't have time for. Each year I have to reactivate my mentor status which in part means agreeing to new background checks. Clearly I pass these checks because they allow me to continue being a mentor each year.
Because of the deletion of the in-person tutoring, there is little call for background check concerns. Further, there was usually no real call for background checks from parents when I was tutoring in-person. Those that were concerned simply came with their student. I can provide information for parents to verify my employment with Lincoln Public Schools upon request, but I do not provide background check information because it tends to be an impractical expenditure for the business.
