The requirements and instructions are set forth below.  After reviewing this information and preparing the forms, please call Kristen Davis at (801) 264-7468 to set up an appointment to complete the process.

A requirement for working for our district is a FBI background check.  This process can be generated through a live scan at our offices while you are here filling out the paperwork.  The cost of $33.25 for the background check is payable at the time you sign up to be a substitute.

PLEASE NOTE:  One of the documents you will be asked to complete is an I-9 Employment Eligibility form. With this form, we will need two documents which establish your identity. The most commonly documents used are a driver’s license or a government issued photo ID and social security card or government issued birth certificate.  A U.S. passport is also acceptable.  Please bring these documents with you so that we may obtain a copy.

You will need to provide verification of education either through a transcript or diploma.  If you are licensed, a copy of your license will need to be provided.

Murray City School District pays by direct deposit.  We will accept either a voided check or a direct deposit form from your financial institution.  We can no longer accept just written numbers.
