CUSD VOLUNTEER POLICY

 

 

CUSD BOARD POLICY 1240

 

The Capistrano Unified School District Board of Trustees’ approved a policy requiring all our volunteers to have the following prior to assisting with students:

1)  Negative tuberculin (TB) test or chest x-ray

2)  Livescan Fingerprint check

3) A completed Megan’s Law check on file with our school and school district

4) Completed informational packet (available at school site offices or CUSD district offices).

 

Three categories of volunteers: 1) Student Contact Volunteers, 2) Non-student Contact Volunteers and 3) One-time or Occasional Volunteers.  Each category has its own requirements.

 

Student Contact Volunteers:  Volunteers working with students inside or outside our classrooms or other supervised school settings; working in the school office or other areas while students are on campus or present.   

Required: Megan’s Law check (conducted by CUSD), Fingerprints and TB clearance.

 

Non-student Contact Volunteers:  Short term projects on campus when no students are present.

Required:  Meagan’s Law check required (conduct by CUSD), TB clearance recommended.

 

One-Time or Occasional Volunteer:  Attend or help at a one-time special event involving no unsupervised contact with children. Examples: help at school fair, Grand Parents Day (guest), Jog-A-Thon (observer), parent supervisor on field trips. 

No requirements for these activities.

 

The Megan’s Law check will be conducted by the school district and there is no cost to the parent for this.  Unfortunately, the parents will need to bear the cost of the TB test and Livescan fingerprinting.  The total estimated cost is between $52 and $62.

 

Contact your child’s school office for a volunteer information packet.
