School Volunteers

The Board recognizes the need to develop a volunteer program to support district instructional programs and extracurricular activities.  The purpose of the volunteer program shall be to:

 

1. Assist employees in providing more individualization and enrichment of instruction.

 

2. Build an understanding of school programs among interested citizens, thus stimulating widespread involvement in a total education process.

 

3. Strengthen school/community relations through positive participation.

 

A volunteer is a person who works on an occasional or regular basis at school sites or other educational facilities to support the efforts of professional personnel.  Such an adult volunteer worker shall serve in that capacity without employee benefits of any type except for Workers' Compensation and liability protection as provided by state law.

 

Use of volunteers within the district is not to conflict with or replace any regularly authorized personnel allotment.

 

Volunteers will work with students under the immediate supervision and direction of a licensed person.

 

Volunteers are expected to comply with all policies and regulations set forth by the district, including the drug/alcohol policies.
