In an effort to ensure the safety of our students, the District has established a volunteer policy that requires certain documentation from all of its volunteers.

FAQ
Why am I required to obtain these clearances?
The safety of our students is a District priority. State law requires that all school districts review each of these clearances before allowing any person to begin serving as a volunteer in any school building or with any extracurricular activity.
Who is considered a volunteer?
A volunteer is defined as an adult, whose role is more than that of a visitor, who voluntarily offers a service to the District without receiving compensation from the District. A volunteer is not a school employee. The District has defined two classifications of volunteers and examples can be found on the volunteer website.
Must I update my clearances every school year?
No, you are required to update your clearances every 60 months.
How will I be notified of my volunteer status/approval?
Volunteers will be notified of their status in writing once all documentation has been supplied and reviewed by the District and, if necessary, approved by the School Board.
How do I get my FBI fingerprints completed?
You will need to register online at identogo.com or uenroll.identogo.com. You need to provide your personal information as well as the service code of 1KG6ZJ and complete the pre-enrollment process. Once that is completed, you will be required to sign up for a date, time, and location to have your fingerprints taken. You cannot pay online but will need to bring your payment either by certified check, money order, or a Visa, Master Card, American Express, or Discover Card to the fingerprint site. Money orders and certified checks must be made payable to IDEMIA. Identogo will provide directions on what to bring to the fingerprint site as well as what forms of ID are acceptable. Once on site, you will be taken in order of the schedule. Walk-ins will be accepted but only if you apply online first, and then it’s a first come, first serve basis.
How long does it take for each clearance to be completed?
Act 34 – PA State Police Criminal History can be completed online and received immediately if there are no reported incidents. Act 114 – Federal Criminal History Report can be completed by obtaining fingerprints at an authorized location. Results can be expected in 14 days. Act 151 – Child Abuse Background Check can be completed online and received within 14 days.
If I have a question, who do I contact?
