A volunteer is defined as an individual who, with school district authorization, voluntarily
assists school districts, schools, educational programs, or students on a regular and ongoing
basis. A volunteer is required to complete a Volunteer Application and have a Megan’s Law
Background Check, or a State and/or Federal Background Check completed prior to rendering
service. Volunteers must also sign the Volunteers’ Code of Conduct. No Volunteer will be
allowed participation until fully cleared by the District office.
Those who may have scheduled or unscheduled contact with students for activities and events
and may have the opportunity for regular, significant, unsupervised contact with the students
in the course of volunteering or chaperoning an event. Prior to commencing services, a
Volunteer/Chaperone is required to complete all of the following:
- Submit a completed application each school year;
- Provide a copy of a valid California Driver’s License or California ID;
- Clear Tuberculosis Test or a completed Risk Assessment Questionnaire (Valid for 4 years. Fee to be paid by applicant.);
- Undergo a Megan’s Law background check and be fingerprinted through the District’s referral to County LiveScan for submission to the State of California Department of Justice for clearance (Note: All applicant fees will be charged and collected at the time of the LiveScan appointment).
Thank you in advance for your patience and assistance in implementing these new systems and
enhanced protocols. Volunteer packets are available in the office. Our goal, as always, is to keep our students safe.
