VOLUNTEERS
Policy 2075
Page 1 of 1
The Laurel Springs Board of Education recognizes that the
services of community volunteers 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.
Volunteers must be persons of known character,
responsibility and integrity.
The Superintendent shall not be obligated to utilize the
services of a volunteer who in their estimation does not possess the requisite
abilities or interests to service the needs of students.
- Volunteers shall complete a district required
orientation program prior to assuming duties.
- Volunteers should clearly understand their duties and
responsibilities and perform no service beyond those duties.
- Volunteers serve only in a support capacity. All
approved volunteers are authorized to supplement the work of paid
professional staff members under whom they are assigned by but are not
substitutes for paid staff members nor are they authorized to speak formally
or informally for any program in conjunction with the paid professional
staff member responsible for the program.
- Volunteers may serve only under the direction and
supervision of a teaching staff member. A volunteer may not work with,
teach, or coach students without a certified staff member present in the
immediate area.
- Each volunteer will be expected to have the expertise
necessary to be an asset to the activity.
- Volunteers 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.
- The Board of Education reserves the right to accept,
deny, retain or terminate the services of any volunteer. This may be done
through the Superintendent as the Board’s authorized representative.
