Volunteer (Tier 2) Clearance Process

The Board of Education, Superintendent, and District Staff recognize that volunteer assistance in schools can significantly enrich the educational program, increase community support, and build a collaborative partnership between the District and the community. The District encourages parents/guardians and community members to share their time, knowledge, and abilities with our students. To ensure the safety and well-being of all students, the District has established the following requirements for volunteer clearance based on all applicable state and federal laws. Volunteer Assistance is governed by Board Policy 1240 and Administrative Regulation 1240.

Tier 2: Unsupervised or Regular Volunteers

• Definition: Individuals who may be out of the line of sight of an employee, or whose volunteer service is on a continuing basis for 16 or more hours in a single month, or 32 or more hours in a single school year (AB 506).
• Examples: overnight field trip chaperones, clinic/guest athletic coaches (attends very few practices), pull-out academic tutors, after-school program volunteers, room parents, volunteer drivers, field trip chaperones who might take students on their own.

Application and Clearance Process

• Online Application: Complete the District's online volunteer application form via the District's Frontline Recruiting and Hiring platform.
• Provide Identification: Upload a valid, government-issued photo identification (e.g., California Driver's License, state ID card, or passport).
• Sign the GUSD Volunteer Code of Conduct: (Attachment A) When submitting the application, the volunteer must sign the Volunteer Code of Conduct. The signed copy will be valid for the current school year.
• Complete the following clearances through the Human Resources office:
  
  • Submit TB Clearance: Upload/submit a copy of TB clearance.
  • Fingerprint Clearance: All Tier 2 volunteers are required to obtain Live Scan fingerprint clearance prior to beginning service as a volunteer . Fingerprinting is available in the Human Resources Office by appointment only.
  • California Child Abuse and Neglect Reporting Act (CANRA) Clearance. This includes completing the required Mandated Reporter Training. Pursuant to SB 848, all volunteers are classified as Mandated Reporters and must complete a state-approved annual California Child Abuse Mandated Reporter Training.
• Principal Approval: Human Resources will verify that all clearances have been obtained and that a current, signed Code of Conduct is on file through Frontline. The school principal or administrative designee must provide final authorization prior to the volunteer's service from the list of volunteers marked cleared by Human Resources.
  Note: Volunteers serving at multiple school sites within the District must be cleared by the District Human Resources office, though the application only needs to be completed once.
