Louisiana Revised Statues 17:3884 provides that a school board considering the employment application of a person who has been evaluated in another school system shall request such person's evaulation results as part of the application process and shall inform the applicant that his/her evaluation results will be requested. The applicant shall be given the opportunity to review any informatiion received by the prospective employer as a result of such request and to provide any response or information the applicant deems appropriate. Please be advised, therefore, that the Rapides Parish School Board will request your evaluation results from each of the school districts you have listed in your application.

Louisiana Revised Statutes 17:15 also requires all applicants for employment to be fingerprinted in order to assist in background checks of those individuals.
