District Volunteer Program
The district supports the use of community volunteers in both instructional and non-instructional roles.
Program Goals
1. To provide assistance to teachers in meeting the needs of individual students and to enrich the curriculum.
2. To increase student motivation and learning.
3. To strengthen positive connections between home and school.
Recruitment
1. Principals will keep volunteer applications, criminal history authorization forms and a current list of volunteers at each school.
2. Volunteers may be recruited for any purpose in accord with district policies as approved by the principal.
3. Volunteers will not be paid and are not employees or agents of the district.
School employees acting outside the duties of their normal position may serve as volunteers when approved by the principal.
Volunteer Training
1. All volunteers will receive information and training as needed regarding professional conduct, school rules and student safety.
2. For volunteer activities which occur on a regular basis, the principal will provide training in:
a. General policies;
b. Confidentiality;
c. School routines and other procedures appropriate to the assignment.
Evaluation
Each principal will annually review the school volunteer program relative to participation and program quality.
Use of Background Checks
1. Principals will determine whether or not an individual’s volunteer work is to be a "one time" or on a casual basis. If the volunteer will work numerous times or on a regular basis a background check will be completed.
2. At the principal’s discretion, individuals may be allowed to perform limited volunteer services while background checks are being conducted.
3. Any volunteer refusing to consent to a background check; or making a false statement regarding conviction of a crime; or having been convicted of a crime prohibited for school employees (listed below) shall be suspended from providing further service. Individuals charged with any of the crimes listed below may also be prohibited from serving as a volunteer as determined by the school principal.
The principal suspending a volunteer will report the name of the individual to the superintendent.
4. Any individual prohibited from volunteering for any reason may file a written appeal with the superintendent. If the superintendent’s decision is unsatisfactory, the volunteer may submit a written appeal to the Board for consideration within the next 30 working days.
