LIVESCAN Fingerprint Process at the NYC Charter Center

The NYC Charter Center will soon serve as a conduit for all new NYC charter school staff to get fingerprinted for employment. The LIVESCAN technology uses a specialized scanner to digitally transmit fingerprint images instantly to the New York State Education Department using the internet. The interface between LIVESCAN and the SED’s TEACH database allows schools to obtain the results electronically within 48 hours. We will provide more details and a training session for schools in early July when we become operational.
