Contractors Vendors

Ennis Independent School district has the authorization to conduct based criminal history checks on individuals contracting with our district and has the ability to adjudicate the results.

Senate Bill 9 directs school district contractors to obtain state and national criminal history background searches on those who will have direct contact with students through the DPS criminal history clearinghouse (Fingerprint-based Applicant Clearinghouse of Texas- FACT).

What defines a contractor/vendor? A contractor/vendor performs services for the district in which they are being paid by the district. Examples of contractors/vendors are, dual credit instructors, private lesson instructors, and other vendors providing services to the district.

Before a contractor/vendor (applicant) begins providing services for the district the applicant must complete the Fingerprint Subscription Authorization Contractor/Vendor Form. Once the applicant has been approved he or she will be notified by an Administrator and then services may be rendered.
