About the Background Check Process
How to Schedule Your Background Check
Chaperone volunteer background checks will now be scheduled through IdentiGO by Idemia. This change is the result of a new requirement issued by the Louisiana State Police Bureau of Criminal Identification and Information to meet statewide compliance standards. IdentiGO has various locations in the Greater New Orleans Area.
Through IdentiGO, applicants may schedule an appointment location and time using an ISL-specific fingerprint service code and ORI, which will be provided after completion of Mandatory Reporter Training and submission of a background check authorization form.
Applicants are responsible for paying the cost of their background check at their selected IdentiGO fingerprinting location at the time of their appointment. The cost of the background check is $54.50. IdentiGO accepts credit/debit and check or money order.
Financial assistance is available for families who may need support. To request, please email jjones@isl-edu.org.
To be approved as a school chaperone, all chaperone volunteers must have a state background check on file. If you already have a current background check through your employer, you may email a copy to volunteerdocs@isl-edu.org for review to ensure it meets state compliance requirements.
If you do not already have an approved background check, you will need to complete one through the International School of Louisiana (ISL).
