Conditions of Employment

* AGREEMENT, AUTHORIZATION, WAIVER, AND RELEASE A. Applicant Certification. I hereby certify that the information contained in this application is true, accurate, complete, true to the best of my knowledge, and current as of the date submitted. I understand and agree that any misrepresentation or willful omission of facts shall be sufficient cause for disqualification of my application or for termination of my employment. Failure to provide all or part of the information requested may result in the refusal of the Clovis Municipal Schools ("CMS") to further consider me for possible employment. I understand that I have the legal right to accept employment in this state, and that I will produce, at or before the date of hire, proof of that right to accept employment. B. Criminal Background Checks. I understand and agree that if I am considered as a finalist for, or I am actually recommended for or offered employment, I will submit to a criminal background investigation, including mandatory fingerprinting, at my expense, to determine my acceptability for employment. Criminal convictions shall not automatically bar an applicant from obtaining employment with the School District, but pursuant to the Criminal Offender Employment Act of New Mexico (NMSA 1978, 28-2-1, et seq.), such convictions may be the basis for refusing employment. I understand that any employment offer is contingent upon, and expressly subject to, the satisfactory completion of all background checks. I further understand and agree that if the results of any such background check are not satisfactory in the sole discretion of CMS and the District may provide me written notice of the withdrawal of its offer of employment, and that I shall be entitled to no further process or procedure. Such background check(s) may include but not be limited to my criminal record, driving record, employment history, and credit report. I understand that Clovis Municipal Schools may utilize an outside firm or firms to assist in checking such information, and I specifically authorize such an investigation by information services and outside entities of Clovis Municipal School's choice. I authorize all former employers, persons, schools, companies and law enforcement authorities to release any information concerning my background and hereby release any said persons or entities from any liability for any damage whatsoever for issuing this information. C. Available Reports. I understand that the scope of the consumer report/investigative consumer report may include, but is not limited to, the following areas: verification of Social Security number; current and previous residences; employment history, including all personnel files; education; references; credit history and reports; criminal history, including records from any criminal justice agency in any or all federal, state or county jurisdictions; birth records; motor vehicle records, including traffic citations and registration; and any other public records. I authorize the complete release of these records or data pertaining to me that an individual, company, firm, corporation, or public agency may have. D. Waiver and Release as to Reference Checks. I hereby authorize any present or former employer, school, police department, financial institution, or other persons having personal knowledge of me, receiving a copy of this signed form (including a photocopy or facsimile copy) to provide and release complete information as may be requested. I hereby release any person or entity providing information or records in accordance with this Agreement, Authorization, Waiver, and Release from any and all claims or liability for compliance. I AM ALSO WAIVING ANY RIGHT OF ACTION, CAUSE OF ACTION, OR OTHER MEANS OF REDRESS I MAY HAVE AGAINST ANY PERSON OR ENTITY SUPPLYING EMPLOYMENT-RELATED INFORMATION--INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO INFORMATION CONCERNING MY BACKGROUND, WORK HISTORY, AND DISCIPLINARY HISTORY--TO THE SCHOOL DISTRICT. I hereby authorize the School District and its agents to investigate my work history and education history and to conduct personal inquiries. I understand that the School District will send a copy of this Agreement and Authorization to each individual or entity from whom it is seeking a reference or background information. E. Public Disclosure of Applicant Names and Application Materials. I understand that, pursuant to the Inspection of Public Records Act (IPRA) as interpreted by recent court decisions, the identity of public sector job applicants and the information contained in this application and the information submitted by me or obtained pursuant to this agreement and authorization may be subject to disclosure to persons outside the School District, including the media, to the extent such information is not expressly protected from disclosure by exceptions to the IPRA, or other applicable employee privacy or confidentiality laws, including but not limited to, the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA). (Results of criminal background checks, if requested are privileged and protected from public disclosure.) As a result, the applicant must make his or her own decision as to submitting the application and the impact which public disclosure of his or her identity as an applicant, or application materials may have.
