PA act 34 clearance system

[thiswayup]

Anyone subbing in PA use the online PATCH system to get your act 34 record? I did. (Putting appl. into several other school districts so have to get an update...pain in the a**) It's fine, made a lot of copies, but now I am wondering if I should have called the schools to see if they accept the online record check certification form.(I know...stupid) Called the website help desk and they said everyone is using this now. Any ideas? The online copy looks nothing like the copy you get if you send it by mail...

Hello,

I've used it for several years, never had any problems with acceptance by districts. Of course I still am looking for that contracted position!

Thanks

Clearances

When I started my job two years ago, I used the online form. The secretary asked me what it was, I explained, and she accepted it. I believe all schools have to accept the PATCH form because it is formal and the same information as the one by mail.
