TB Testing and Background Checks
Most school-based educational settings require that volunteers be cleared of TB and complete a background check before interacting with children. Updated California laws on TB testing have stated that a TB risk assessment survey can be used to determine whether or not one needs a TB test. According to the UCI Student Health Center, all incoming UCI students are required to obtain a TB screening. Check with your after school site on whether they allow the TB risk assessment prior to taking the TB test. TB test results are good for at least one year. For more information on locations that perform TB tests and background checks, visit the fieldwork checklist page.
