The role of volunteers is to assist, but not replace or assume the responsibilities or authority of district staff.

Volunteers shall not provide regular instruction or educational training to students enrolled in the district. Volunteers may undertake activities in support and at the direction of the district staff, provided that such activities do not conflict with the requirements of this policy or the additional procedures established by the school within the district on whose behalf volunteers provide services.

• Volunteers will be required to submit to Raptor ID scans upon entering school buildings.

A volunteer shall make a report of suspected child abuse if the volunteer has reasonable cause to suspect that a child is a victim of child abuse and the volunteer is an integral part of a regularly scheduled program, activity or service and is a person responsible for the child’s welfare or has direct contact with the children.
