Policy 2080

                                                                                                                                                                      

 

The Laurel Springs Board of Education recognizes that the services of Volunteer Instructors can enrich our extra curricular program, assist teaching staff members in the performance of their extra curricular duties, and enhance the relationship between the school district and the community.  Volunteer Instructors can also provide enrichment programs that are not able to be funded through the annual school budget.

 

Volunteers Instructors must be persons of known character, responsibility and integrity.

 

The Superintendent shall not be obligated to utilize the services of a volunteer instructor who in his/her estimation does not possess the requisite abilities or interests to service the needs of students.

 

 

  1. Volunteers Instructors shall complete a district required orientation program prior to assuming duties.
  2. Volunteer Instructors shall possess a valid and appropriate New Jersey educational certificate.
  3. Volunteer Instructors shall submit to a background check and fingerprinting.
  4. Volunteers Instructors shall clearly understand their duties and responsibilities and perform no service beyond those duties. 
  5. Volunteer Instructors may serve only under the direction and supervision of the building principal and superintendent.   A Volunteer Instructor may work with, teach, or coach students.
  6. Each Volunteer Instructor will be expected to have the expertise necessary to be an asset to the activity.
  7. Volunteers Instructors shall receive no financial remuneration from the Board and/or other sources; however, volunteers carrying out prescribed functions under the supervision of designated professional staff members shall be covered by the Board’s liability insurance policy.
  8. The Board of Education reserves the right to accept, deny, retain or terminate the services of any Volunteer Instructor.  This may be done through the Superintendent as the Board’s authorized representative.

9.   Volunteer instructors may be reimbursed up to $100 per year for expenses.  The

reimbursement must be verified and recommended by the superintendent.
