You must give complete answers to all questions. If you answer "Yes" to any question, you must list all offenses, and for each conviction provide date of conviction and disposition, regardless of the date or location of occurrence. Conviction of a criminal offense is not a bar to employment in all cases. Each case is considered on its merits. Your answers will be verified with appropriate police records.

Criminal Offense includes felonies, misdemeanors, summary offenses, and convictions resulting from a plea of "nolo contendere" (no contest.)

Conviction is an adjudication of guilt and includes determinations before a court, a district justice, or a magistrate, which results in a fine, sentence, or probation.

You may omit: minor traffic violations, offenses committed before your 18th birthday which were adjudicated in juvenile court or under a Youth Offender Law, and any convictions which have been expunged by a court or for which you successfully completed an Accelerated Rehabilitative Disposition program.

All prospective employees, interns, and student teachers of Logos Academy Harrisburg must obtain a Child Abuse Clearance, Pennsylvania Criminal Clearance, and an FBI Federal Criminal History Clearance prior to working in the school.
