Employment Verification Requests 

The Antelope Valley Union High School District requires the written (signed and recently dated) authorization of the employee to release any type of employment information. AVUHSD Personnel Office releases employment data only.

You may fax the employee’s signed authorization to release data along with your form(s) to (661) 726-0673. We will do a search of our database, fill out your form(s), and quickly fax a response to you. We make every effort to immediately return all requested verifications. For a hard copy response of originals: mail the signed authorization, your document you need completed, and a Self Addressed Stamped Envelope to: AVUHSD Personnel Services, 44811 Sierra Highway, Lancaster CA 93534.

In order to ensure a speedy response:

- Make sure the employee’s name is correctly spelled and matches the name on our records (IE: hyphenated, maiden names, etc) and include the social security number.

-Clearly indicate the return fax number on your cover sheet

-Do not forget to include the signed authorization – this would be a page the employee physically signed to authorize an employment/background check and would be located in your standard home loan document, car loan document, employment application, rental request, etc. Requests received without signed authorization will not be completed.

- Electronic signatures/stamps are not valid.

Sick Leave Balance Transfers/ Former AVUHSD teachers and employees: Your new school district may mail in your authorization to release data along with their form and a SASE to request any sick leave balance to be transferred to them on your behalf and/or to verify your years of service, actual days worked, etc.

Attention Law Enforcement: Official agency investigator may make appointment for a direct file review by calling 661-948-7655 ext 247 in reference to current/former AVUHSD employees that have recently applied with a law enforcement, state or federal government agency. Please provide at least a 24 hour advance notice whenever possible so we may arrange an office space/conference room for the review.

Please note: requests for information on inactive or archived employees will require extra processing time. In order to facilitate your request, please be sure to include the employee’s social security number and the full name of the employee as it was during their past employment with our district along with your document and his/her signed release.

All garnishment requests are handled through the Los Angeles County Office of Education. Call them directly at (562) 922-6458 for their processing procedures.
