    If you wish to work in any of the Grant Parish School Board Cafeterias as a food technician substitute, you must complete and mail back this letter. Even if you are an existing sub or have subbed in the past you must complete a new form each year. Updating your information each year also ensures that you will not have to pay to have your fingerprints taken again. Those that do not remain on our current list are required to have their fingerprints taken again before working in the schools.

    Please be reminded of the following requirements for the Food Service Technician Substitutes:

    1. Each sub must have their own home phone or cell phone and provide us with that number.

    2. Each sub must have their own dependable mode of transportation to and from work.

    3. Each sub must turn in a new information form each school year.

    4. If it has been more than one year since you have worked for us you must pay $39.25 to the Grant Parish School Board to be fingerprinted again.

    5. You will need to contact the school board office to arrange for the required trainings (Bullying, Ethics, and Suicide etc The training will need to be completed prior to working. Call 627-3274 to arrange for the training.

    6. New subs must be drug tested prior to working in a school cafeteria.

    You may mail your application in, and we will add your name to our 2023-2024 substitute list. We will give this list to our cafeteria managers. To make sure your name is added, please mail the below application back to the school board office.

    Thank you for your cooperation. We look forward to working with you this school year. 

  • I, would like to substitute for the Grant Parish Food Service Department at the following schools:

  • It is highly encouraged to be open to covering more schools, as this increases your chances of being called to sub and all of our schools would appreciate the help!

    Subs are called in by the manager as needed. This is not a guaranteed position. In the instance that a sub is needed long- term, then dependable subs will move into a two-week rotation cycle. These subs will rotate every two weeks and also have the chance to fulfill rotations at other schools when needed. The rotation can stop or be changed at any time dependent upon the need and is in no way a guaranteed position. This procedure allows for training and experience for all of our subs at different schools as we work to grow our department. Procedures are subject to change at any time depending on the need.

  • To All Employees:

    Act. No 619 was passed during the 1997 Regular Session of the Legislature, and we are taking this opportunity to advise each of you of its important provisions.

    Louisiana school boards are obligated to provide all public school employees who are employed by city and parish school boards with legal defense and indemnification in the event an employee is sued for damages by any student, or other persons qualified to bring suit on behalf of any student, based on any action or statement, or the omission of any action or statement, by such employee when in the proper course and scope of the employees duties as defined by the employing school board. Grant Parish School Board will perform its duties to its employees under Act 619.

    The Grant Parish School Board also purchases liability insurance from a financially strong insurance company, and that insurance will protect both the- school board and its employees from many of the claims which may be brought against an employee.

    Please understand, however, no Louisiana school board is obligated to indemnify an employee against a judgment in which the employee's action is found to be maliciously, willfully, and deliberately intended to cause bodily harm or to harass or intimidate the student.

Depending on the nature of your application, supplemental authorities include Federal statutes, State statutes pursuant to Pub. L. 92-544, Presidential Executive Orders, and federal. Providing your fingerprints and associated information is voluntary; however, failure to do so may affect completion or approval of your application.

    Social Security Account Number (SSAN) Your SSAN is needed to keep records accurate because other people may have the same name and birth date. Pursuant to the Federal Privacy Act of 1974 (5 USC 552a), the requesting agency is responsible for informing you whether disclosure is mandatory or voluntary, by what statutory or other authority your SSAN is solicited, and what uses will be made of it. Executive Order 9397 also asks Federal agencies to use this number to help identify individuals in agency records.

    Principal Purpose: Certain determinations, such as employment, licensing, and security clearances, may be predicated on fingerprint-based background checks. Your fingerprints and associated information/biometrics may be provided to the employing, investigating, or otherwise responsible agency, and/or the FBI for the purpose of comparing your fingerprints to other fingerprints in the FBI's Next Generation Identification (NGI) system or its successor systems (including civil, criminal, and latent fingerprint repositories) or other available records of the employing, investigating, or otherwise responsible agency.

  • NONCRIMINAL JUSTICE APPLICANT'S PRIVACY RIGHTS

    As an applicant who is the subject of a national fingerprint-based criminal history record check for a noncriminal justice purpose (such as an application for employment or a license, an immigration or naturalization matter, security clearance, or adoption), you have certain rights which are discussed below.

    • You must be provided written notification¹ that your fingerprints will be used to check the criminal history records of the FBI.
    • You must be provided, and acknowledge receipt of, an adequate Privacy Act Statement when you submit your fingerprints and associated personal information. This Privacy Act Statement should explain the authority for collecting your information and how your information will be used, retained, and shared. 2
    • If you have a criminal history record, the officials making a determination of your suitability for the employment, license, or other benefit must provide you the opportunity to complete or challenge the accuracy of the information in the record.
    • The officials must advise you that the procedures for obtaining a change, correction, or update of your criminal history record are set forth at Title 28, Code of Federal Regulations (CFR), Section 16.34.
    • If you have a criminal history record, you should be afforded a reasonable amount of time to correct or complete the record (or decline to do so) before the officials deny you the employment, license, or other benefit based on information in the criminal history record.³ 

     You have the right to expect that officials receiving the results of the criminal history record check will use it only for authorized purposes and will not retain or disseminate it in violation of federal statute, regulation or executive order, or rule, procedure or standard established by the National Crime Prevention and Privacy Compact Council.

    If agency policy permits, the officials may provide you with a copy of your FBI criminal history record for review and possible challenge. If agency policy does not permit it to provide you a copy of the record, you may obtain a copy of the record by submitting fingerprints and a fee to the FBI. Information regarding this process may be obtainedat https://www.fbi.gov/services/cjis/identity-history-summary-checks.

    If you decide to challenge the accuracy or completeness of your FBI criminal history record, you should send your challenge to the agency that contributed the questioned information to the FBI. Alternatively, you may send your challenge directly to the FBI. The FBI will then forward your challenge to the agency that contributed the questioned information and request the agency to verify or correct the challenged entry. Upon receipt of an official communication from that agency, the FBI will make any necessary changes/corrections to your record in accordance with the information supplied by that agency.
