IMPORTANT: SRVUSD Implements New Volunteer Requirements
*SRVUSD has a new system for ALL adults who wish to volunteer on a
school campus or drive/chaperone day and overnight field trips.This new
Volunteer Management System features a web-based software application
that allows the District and all schools to better track and provide the
appropriate level of clearance for school volunteers.
The District will NOT be asking parents to:
incur any of the costs associated with these clearance processes.
be fingerprinted (for the purposes of volunteering in our schools) again.
The new SRVUSD Volunteer Management System includes three (3) levels
of volunteer clearance and tracking:
1) Classroom aides and other general school volunteers
2) Field trip drivers
3) Overnight chaperones
During the online application process, you will be asked to choose the level
or levels of clearance you will need based on your anticipated involvement.
ALL adult volunteers will need to go through this new process
*Level 1. Classroom Aides and other on-campus school volunteers: This is the
most basic level, and includes completion of the Volunteer Online Application, and
a search of the Sex Offender Registry. *This level of clearance will allow you to
act as a volunteer in classrooms, support campus activities, and chaperone day
field trips (as a non-driver).
*Level 2. Field Trip Drivers: At this level, the District will obtain a 10-year driving
history and DMV “Pull Notification" ("Pull Notification" allows the District to be
notified any time there is a reportable traffic violation or incident that is registered
with the Department of Motor Vehicles). Also includes completion of the Volunteer
Online Application, and a search of the Sex Offender Registry. *This level of
clearance will allow you to transport students as a driver for field trips and extracurricular activities.
**Clearance for this level could take up to 14 days.**
*Level 3. Overnight Chaperones: We will be conducting background clearances
on all Overnight Field Trip volunteer applicants. This is the most stringent level of
clearance, and all volunteers who wish to chaperone on an overnight trip will be
required to go through this process. It includes criminal background clearance
through the FBI and Department of Justice. For additional requirements for
chaperones who are also driving on a trip, see Level 2 above. *This level of
clearance will allow you to act as a chaperone for overnight field trips and
activities.
**Clearance for level 3 could take approximately 30 days.**
Thank you for taking the time to review this
important information
AND
for choosing to be a part of our
active volunteer community!
(at whatever level fits into your life)
We could not do all that we do without
our amazing volunteers!
