If a school bus driver is employed or contracted by a public school district to transport private school children, must that person undergo the fingerprint process?
A. Yes, since the driver is an employee of a public educational facility, the driver must be fingerprinted. • Q. On initial application for a school bus driver’s license or renewal of this license, is the school district, contractor or school bus driver applicant responsible for submitting proof of fingerprinting to the Motor Vehicle Commission? A. Yes, for initial application, the driver shall provide a copy of the MorphoTrak receipt to the Motor Vehicle Commission.
