FBI/Highway Patrol Background Check Procedures

Four-Digit Registration Code

A four-digit registration code is required to pre-register. The four-digit registration code ensures that the results of the background check are returned to the correct agency. Registration must be completed for BOTH an FBI and Highway Patrol check. Total cost for fingerprinting is $44.80. Completing only a Highway Patrol open records check is NOT sufficient.

Certified and non-certified staff will need to contact the employing Missouri Public School District for the correct four digit registration code prior to pre-registering for fingerprinting. If employed by more than one school district, choose only one district's registration code.

Educators who are not employed with a Missouri public school district should use registration code 2300. Substitute Teachers who are not employed with a public district should use registration code 2301.

~~To reach, teach, and challenge all students, every day, in a safe and caring environment . . . . together~~

With many changes in health insurance for Americans, some will have new opportunities to enroll for coverage through an electronic insurance exchange or "Marketplace". The marketplace will offer various levels of health plan coverage called "metals", from the least expensive "bronze" level to the richest plans at the "platinum" level. Pricing for the new plans will not be affected by medical conditions and they will cover pre-existing conditions.

Americans w h o do not have coverage offered through their employer that is "adequate!' and "affordable" may be eligible for a subsidy to offset some of the cost of Marketplace plans, depending on their household income. Lexington R-V School District is pleased to offer our benefit eligible employees health coverage that both meets and exceeds the requirements of "adequate" and "affordable". While this means that you will not be eligible for a tax credit subsidy when considering coverage for yourself or the Marketplace plans, this does not disqualify your family members from obtaining a subsidy in the Marketplace.

Our part-time, or non-benefit eligible employees may also qualify for subsidies in the Market place Exchanges.

Most Americans will be required to have health insurance coverage beginning January 1, 2014. Americans t at elect to go without health insurance coverage will- be taxed. The tax penalty is based on a percentage of gross income, and applies to each uninsured household member, including children.

Penalties for not having health coverage (are the greater of): ?

$95 or 1% of salary for 2014

?

$325 or 2% of salary for 2015

$695 or 2.5% of salary for 2016

(1/2 these amounts for each household person under age 18)

Under our current plan year, Lexington R-V School District pays a minimum of $6,540 toward the cost of the medical plan coverage for each covered staff member. Health and Human Service has provided the attached Model Notice to give you further details about the Marketplace Exchanges. For more information, go to
