Type of correction needed: IC 12-17.2-4-3(e)(1)
One staff member currently working with children did not have approved fingerprints on file with the division. Employee was in 'submitted' status.“Submitted”- This status immediately shows on the Associated Educator whenever a new consent form is signed and submitted from that person's Educator's I-LEAD account. The "Submitted Date" next to it indicates when the consent form was last submitted by the educator. The "Submitted" status stays until the state is finished processing the background checks.“Provisional”- Provisional means that the FBI's check has been completed for a new employee and that the rest of the consent will be sent to the other queues for completion.  Any educator with a provisional status can work so long as they're supervised by another Qualified educator who has a current consent form for that year. Once the provisional status changes to "Qualified" on the roster, then the new staff member can monitor children on their own without supervision.
