Schools who wish to utilize volunteers will send the potential volunteer to this application for processing. Once the application is complete, the School Volunteer Coordinator will log into the system to recommend the applicant.  This will trigger the required Office of Administrative Courts crimal background check for all new volunteers in the district. Once your background check is approved, you will be notified by the school that you can begin to volunteer in the district. 

Volunteer Program Description:

All new volunteers must complete a state criminial records check.
