Volunteer Procedures

Volunteer assistance in schools can significantly enrich the educational program, increase supervision of students, contribute to school safety, and strengthen a school’s relationship with the community. In compliance with California Education Code 35021 and Board Policy/Administrative Regulation 1240, school volunteers are required to be screened and authorized to volunteer. These code and policy requirements are in place in an abundance of caution for student safety and well-being.
