​​​​All principals, teachers, administrators, staff (including paid staff and volunteers with staff responsibilities), and coaches (including paid and volunteer coaches) who work at an elementary school or high school must be fingerprinted under the California Education Code and pass a background check before they commence any assignment. Preschool personnel and volunteers must be fingerprinted under the California Health and Safety Code and pass a background check before they commence any assignment. All fingerprints are submitted to the California Department of Justice and the FBI.   All fingerprints are submitted to the Fingerprinting Office. The archdiocesan Fingerprinting Office coordinates with the locations and reports to the locations information received concerning fingerprinting matters that preclude and individual from serving in a paid or volunteer capacity in the archdiocese. ​
