The Board recognizes that the safety of the District's students and staff is paramount. The Superintendent will establish procedures, to be effective September 1, 2007, for registering all volunteers in district schools and for securing police records checks from all volunteer coaches, volunteer chaperones of overnight field trips, and volunteer drivers who transport students. The Superintendent shall have the authority to request a police records check of any volunteer where the Superintendent is of the opinion that to do so would be in the best interest of students and staff. At the discretion of the Superintendent, or designate, where information contained in a police certificate suggests conduct that brings into question the suitability of the individual to volunteer in a school, the individual may not be allowed to volunteer.Reference(s): EIBA.AR - Liability Insurance GBCE.AR - Volunteers - Registration and Records Checks HICA.BP - Field Trips HICA.AR - Field Trips | |
