You have my permission to obtain a background check of my personal record. In addition, I authorize any references or churches listed in this application to give you any information (including opinions) that they have regarding my character and fitness for working with children and youth. I agree to live by the understanding that, as a person in authority, it is my responsibility to avoid sexual contact with children and/or youth, even if they attempt to initiate contact. I will find alternative ways to discipline, agreeing that under no circumstance will I use any form of corporal punishment (spanking, neck or choke holds, ear or hair pulling, etc.) as a means of discipline. I certify that the information I have provided is true and correct. If it is found that the answers given are untrue, I understand it may be cause for dismissal.
