Reminder - Background Clearances Needed for School Volunteers for Next School Year
The Pennsylvania State Legislature has mandated that volunteers in schools who have contact with students are now required to have background clearances. FAQs regarding the necessary clearances and instructions for obtaining them are available at www.tesd.net/volunteers.
Additionally, school volunteers who have lived in Pennsylvania for less than ten years will also need to obtain a fingerprint-based Federal Criminal History Clearance through the FBI. School volunteers who have lived in Pennsylvania for more than ten years may submit a sworn statement, in lieu of the Federal Criminal History Clearance, affirming that they are not disqualified for volunteer service due to a conviction. This form is also available on the TESD web site.
The District encourages all of our volunteers to get the background clearances before school starts so that they are available to help with the wide variety of needs and opportunities in our schools.
