Additional Notes:
- We’ve clarified the purpose of the background check to include “personal verification” alongside the criminal history search and credential verification. This aligns with the additional service provided by With Persona.
- We’ve included links to the privacy policies of both Checkr and With Persona for transparency. Instructors can review their data practices before consenting to the background check and verification process.
