Volunteer Policies
The District recognizes the valuable contribution made by volunteers.
Volunteers are parents and other citizens who serve in a capacity for
which they are not paid. Employees may also be defined as
volunteers when they serve in a capacity other than that for which they
are employed and compensated.
In working with volunteers, District staff shall clearly explain the
volunteer’s responsibility for supervising students in school, on field
trips, and at other school-sponsored activities away from campus. On
field trips, or at other school-sponsored activities away from campus,
both students and volunteers are to be informed of the rules of student
behavior and the means by which students are to be held accountable to
those rules.
The superintendent shall be responsible for developing and implementing
procedures for the screening and utilization of volunteers. For more
information, see Distict Policy 5630 and the accompanying procedures,
on our website or contact your neighborhood school.
