June 15, 2015 School Board Meeting Agenda
The School Board will meet in regular session on Monday, June 15, 2015 at 7:30 pm at Conestoga High School, 200 Irish Road in Berwyn. 

Priority discussion items include:
  • Maintenance & Storage Building Project
  • Adoption of the 2015-2016 Final Budget
IMPORTANT UPDATE - Fees Waived for PA Clearances for School Volunteers, Effective July 25, 2015

On Wednesday, June 10, 2015, Governor Wolf announced that the State will waive fees for the Pennsylvania criminal record check and child abuse clearance for volunteers working with children. The fee waiver of $10 per clearance will be effective on July 25th.


The child protection law requires volunteers who have not been a continuous resident of Pennsylvania for the last ten years to obtain an FBI criminal history check, which is not administered by the State government. Volunteers who need the FBI criminal history check will still be responsible for the $27 fee. Volunteers who have lived in Pennsylvania for a full ten-year period may provide a signed and witnessed waiver in lieu of the FBI criminal history check.


The T/E School District is encouraging school volunteers to obtain the necessary background clearances as soon as possible so that they can continue to support the many important volunteer opportunities available in our schools beginning in August. Please visit www.tesd.net/volunteers for instructions on how to obtain the necessary clearances as well as updated FAQs.
