Once the applicant has attached all required certificates to their completed application packet, the applicant must then submit it for approval. The athletic director/site administrator will communicate with the head coach, provide signature approval, and forward the application packet to the BUSD personnel office for processing. The BUSD personnel office will contact the applicant with further information regarding additional steps, such as TB and fingerprinting for BUSD clearance. Upon BUSD school board approval and subsequent notification of the athletic director/site administrator, the applicant will be allowed to begin in their coaching position.

4. Fingerprinting Requirement

New coaching applicants are required to be fingerprinted. Coaches receiving a stipend will be required to pay for the cost of the fingerprinting service, which will be submitted for FBI and DOJ background. The current government fee is $49, plus the service fee at the UPS store or notary which is $25 (prices are subject to change). Those who are volunteering will be given a waiver form.

5. TB Clearance

All new coaches will be required to drug test prior to coaching. Returning coaches who have not drug tested with the district before will also be required to drug test. The drug test is a one-time only. Results will remain on file for future seasons if the coach decides to return.
