New Process for School Volunteers and Field Trip Drivers
The San Ramon Valley Unified School District is implementing a new system for all adults who wish to volunteer on a school campus, in classrooms or drive and chaperone on field trips. The new system will allow the District and schools to better track and provide the appropriate level of clearance for volunteers.
There are three levels of clearance:
· L level 1 – Classroom and other on-campus school volunteers, as well as non-driver chaperones for field trips. This requires completion of the online application, the viewing of the video shown online and a search of the Sex Offender Registry. Clearance could take up to ten days.
· L level 2 – Field Trip Drivers – This level also requires the online application, video viewing, and a search will be done of the Sex Offender Registry. The District will also obtain a driving history for the last ten years from the DMV. This will also allow the District to be notified any time there is a reportable violation or incident. Clearance could take 14-21 days.
· L level 3 – Overnight Chaperones – Background checks will be done on all overnight chaperones which will include clearance through the FBI and the Department of Justice, as well as the requirements from Level 2. Clearance could take more than 30 days.
If you wish to be a volunteer in any capacity, classroom assistance, PTA events, field trip chaperone or driver, library helper, picture day helper, MEF events, scout leaders, etc. take a moment soon to complete the volunteer clearance process so you will be ready to go when you are needed!
