It is not the officiating community that is asking for the background check. It is the IHSA. If you do not have any sports license with the IHSA, they require 3 references from a combination of officials and/or coach, AD (or any school administrator like a Principal) before they will even send out a test to you. I received two this year and they ask a series of questions that have the individual vogue for your integrity or your character. If these references are not sent out and received by the IHSA office, you will not get a license. That has to be done first.
