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 District Policy 5630 and the accompanying procedures, on our website or contact your neighborhood school.
