G. VOLUNTEERS, CHAPERONES, AND MENTORS:
1. Volunteers and mentors working in a capacity where uncontrolled access is anticipated, such as those working with students in an unsupervised capacity on school grounds, off of school property, or after school are required to be fingerprinted and complete a full fingerprint background check and form before performing duties.
2. Volunteers working in a capacity where no uncontrolled access is anticipated on a one time basis only, or on a sporadic basis, do not need to be fingerprinted, i.e. parents volunteering for career day, book fairs, school dances, or other one-time events.
3. Parents and volunteers who volunteer in a classroom on a regular basis in a supervised setting must obtain a commercial background check through PGCPS on an annual basis.
4. Chaperones who will participate in a day field trip or an overnight school trip are considered to be volunteers and are subject to the requirements of this procedure. For a day field trip, chaperones must undergo a commercial background check. For an overnight field trip, chaperones must complete a full fingerprint background check and form. All background checks must be initiated through the PGCPS Fingerprinting Office before performing duties.
 
Thanks.
