Volunteers

The Governing Board encourages parents/guardians and other members of the community to share their time, knowledge and abilities with our learners. The presence of volunteers also can make school environments safer and more closely supervised. Each year, our valuable parents/guardians and community members are now expected to complete a volunteer application form at the school where they serve. For more information on how to become a volunteer with LUSD, contact the Human Resources Office at (559) 562-5111, Extension 5123.

Volunteer Expectations and Requirements

Before volunteering, individuals must:

  • Complete the Volunteer Application Form. Applicants must disclose any prior criminal convictions. Providing false or incomplete information may result in denial or termination of volunteer privileges.
  • Obtain background clearance through the California Department of Justice (DOJ) and Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), when required. This process may include fingerprinting at the volunteer’s expense. Fingerprint clearance is required when a volunteer may be alone with learners.
  • Provide proof of a negative tuberculosis (TB) test or completed TB Risk Assessment at least once every four years. Individuals who test positive must provide chest X-ray results confirming that they do not have active tuberculosis.
  • Complete the District-designated Mandated Reporter Training annually. New users: Click here to create an account. Returning users: Click here to log in and begin the training.

Volunteers who observe or become aware of suspected child abuse or neglect must immediately follow the reporting procedures outlined in the Mandated Reporter Training and notify the site principal or designee. Notifying a District employee does not replace any legally required report.

Under California Education Code section 35021, individuals required to register as sex offenders pursuant to Penal Code section 290 may not serve as school volunteers, including as chaperones for field trips or other school-sponsored activities.
