Applicants must be authorized to work in the United States and be willing to undergo both Livescan background check and TB screening as part of the hiring process. Employment is also contingent upon successful completion of background checks and compliance with California SB 848, which requires prior educational institution employers to disclose credible complaints, substantiated investigations, or discipline involving egregious misconduct.
