Vendor Badges
All NEW and Returning members are required to submit a copy of their ID badge to the SFLOA every January. Member can just take a picture of their badge and send via email to info@sfloa.org . Your badge will be uploaded into association database. Returning officials with a current ID badge on file with the association do not have to submit their ID badge. It is the officials responsibility to submit the Membership Application and Copy of State Badge every January. The Association Secretary may notify you if you need to submit a copy of your ID badge.
Why we need a State ID Badge:
The Jessica Lunsford Act
On May 2, 2005 the Jessica Lunsford Act was signed into legislation. This Act provided several safeguards to protect Florida’s children from sexual predators. In addition to toughening the regulation of registered offenders, this Act expanded the background check requirements for school districts to include all contracted workers and consultants. This law enables the school district to better protect the children in its care. In addition, the Florida Department of Law Enforcement agreed to implement a database to track arrests of school district employees and contractors and notify the school districts when an employee is arrested. This new tracking system will help ensure that the children in our schools remain safe.
