Volunteer Procedures

On June 9, 2009, Administrative Procedure 4595, School Volunteer Programs, was revised to establish safeguards to further protect our students and school staff and allow for a variety of opportunities for volunteering. The revised procedure required that Category C volunteers submit to a criminal background check completed by the district’s School Police Services Department before the volunteers could begin volunteering in the classroom.

Volunteers in the classroom, under the supervision of the classroom teacher, will be classified as Category B volunteers. Volunteers working with students on-site, but outside of the classroom, field trip drivers and chaperones will be classified as Category C volunteers. 

Administrative Procedure 4595 has been revised to reflect the following changes:

Category B criteria:

Volunteers with group exposure who have little or no direct unsupervised exposure or contact with children, and volunteers with classroom exposure who work with children and are supervised by district staff. Typical examples could include classroom tutoring, classroom reading, classroom assistance and after-school programs where supervised by district personnel, as well as non-classroom volunteers such as office helpers, non-classroom assistance, organized functions associated with school organizations such as PTA, school foundation, Site Council. Volunteer conditions are typically public settings and classrooms where staff or other adults can observe at all times, no solitary time with children, and always within unobstructed view.

Category C criteria:

Volunteers with classroom exposure, who work directly with students, and may have unsupervised time with students, but only while on district property with district personnel on site. Conditions typically are areas outside of the classroom where staff or other adults can observe at most times, but may occasionally include short solitary time with children and short duration of obstructed view, such as on-site tutoring outside of the classroom. This category also includes field trip drivers and field trip chaperones.

The District has additional information.
