Background Screening

Background screening is required for all volunteers. There are two types of background screening: Level I and Level II.

• Level I Volunteers
  These are volunteers who are always under the direct supervision of district staff and are never alone with students. Examples include classroom helper, book fair volunteer, or cafeteria monitor. Level I screening includes a check against the Dru Sjodin National Sexual Offender Public Website.

There is no fee for the Level I screening.

• Level II Volunteers/Chaperones
  These are volunteers who may be out of direct view of staff or responsible for supervising students, such as chaperones. This screening process includes: A fingerprint-based background check, a review of felonies and other criminal offenses, and a national sexual offender registry check.

There is a fee for the Level II screening, which is paid for by the volunteer.  The fee is $74.50 (subject to change.)

All verification now has to be processed through our school HR department. Even if you have applied and paid for fingerprinting and you have a direct district confirmation showing Level 2 clearance, school must confirm it to add you to the approved list.  Please complete the secure form link so HR can verify your status. Without this, we’re unable to check your clearance. Please complete the following secure form as soon as possible to initiate the background check process:

Once you submit your form, HR will check it in Clearinghouse. If you already cleared, you will receive an email from the HR department. 

If you are not, you will receive fingerprinting instructions to schedule an appointment.
