Volunteer Requirement FAQs
-
Why were there changes made to volunteer background checks?
The update to the District's volunteer processes were necessary due to a recent change in state law, which requires a more extensive screening for all volunteers that may be left alone with students.
-
The first time I came to the school building, they ran a check using my license. Is this the same as the background check required for volunteers that might be alone with students?
No. Upon entering a district building, all visitors are asked to present an ID such as a Driver’s License, which is then scanned or manually entered into the Raptor system. This system is used for all visitors, but does not meet the legal requirements for volunteers that might be alone with students. Those volunteers must complete the new fingerprinting requirement.

I want to volunteer in a capacity where I might be alone with students, but this is a costly process and is a burden for my family. What are my options?
Please contact the school where you plan to volunteer to see if assistance can be provided.
