For education
Screening built for a duty of care around students.
Schools, districts, and childcare programs place staff and volunteers near minors every day. Atlas pairs fast database results with verified reports covering criminal history, registries, and credentials, so your team can make informed placement decisions.
Screening that respects the trust placed in your staff.
Educators, aides, coaches, and volunteers work closely with students, so the checks that matter here go beyond a single criminal search. These are the pieces of Atlas that education programs rely on most.
Sex offender registry search
Atlas searches available state and national sex offender registries so your program can weigh this information before placing an individual near students.
Federal and county criminal
Criminal history is searched at both federal and county levels, since serious matters can surface in courts that a single database does not reach.
Credential and education checks
Atlas verifies degrees, teaching credentials, and coursework claimed by instructors, so your district can confirm the qualifications behind a candidate.
Professional license verification
For roles that require a teaching or professional license, Atlas confirms status and standing with the issuing authority where records are available.
Ongoing staff monitoring
Active staff can be enrolled in ongoing monitoring, which surfaces new criminal records over time rather than relying on a single point-in-time check.
Volunteer screening at scale
Coaches, chaperones, and classroom volunteers can be screened through workflows sized for the lighter footprint and higher volume these roles bring.
In the product
Every staff member and volunteer, screened with care.
Education programs juggle full-time educators, seasonal coaches, and occasional volunteers, each with different requirements. Atlas keeps consent, results, and monitoring status organized in one place, so your team always knows where a check stands and what still needs review before a placement.
- Consent capture and permissible purpose documented for every applicant
- Registry, criminal, and credential results gathered into one clear report

FCRA compliance
How this check stays compliant.
Built to be defensible: upfront consent, adverse-action support, and open dispute rights.
Atlas is the reporting agency; you decide
Atlas is a Consumer Reporting Agency that furnishes reports under the FCRA. Your organization makes the hiring decision.
Consent before every check
Every check needs a lawful permissible purpose, a standalone disclosure, and the applicant's written authorization.
A supported, two-step adverse action
Pre-adverse notice with the report and a summary of rights, a waiting period, then a final notice. Atlas supports each step.
Disputes are reinvestigated
Applicants may dispute a report; Atlas reinvestigates and corrections reach your dashboard. Email compliance@atlasscreening.com.
Sourced with reasonable procedures
