The Board endorses the involvement of parent(s)/guardian(s) and community volunteers in its schools and recognizes the services of volunteers as essential to improving the quality of education for scholars in this community.
The Board, therefore, encourages parent(s)/guardian(s) and community members who are specially qualified because of interest, training, or experience to play an active role in the schools. To ensure the safety and well being of scholars, all volunteers will be appropriately screened.
The Superintendent will conduct criminal and or professional background checks on volunteers. The volunteer will bear the cost for criminal background checks if required. The Superintendent will promulgate procedures for facilitating the use of volunteers in District schools.
