Board Policy with Guidelines


Subject: Community Resource Persons and Volunteers


BOARD POLICY


The Board of Education recognizes that one of the greatest resources of the

school is to be found in the people of the community who have special

knowledge and particular talents to contribute to the school program. The

Board, therefore, encourages the use of community resources and citizens to

assist in furthering the educational program. Each principal should study the

needs of his/her individual school, survey the resources available in the school

community, weigh their probable usefulness, and then present to the

Superintendent, for approval, any plans that the principal may develop for using

these community resources.


Background checks are crucial for ensuring the safety and security of both

volunteers and community members. When working with students individually

or away from their classroom in small groups, volunteers and community

members must complete both a background check and code of conduct

training.


Volunteers such as Snow College students, PTA members, or other community

members that are in the classroom with the assigned teacher and not

interacting with students alone will not need a background check or complete

the code of conduct training. These volunteers must always be supervised by a

member of the school staff.


All volunteers and community members must check in the office when entering

and exiting the school building.


The Board recognizes that volunteers can make many valuable contributions to

our schools. The Board endorses a Volunteer Program in the North Sanpete

Schools, subject to suitable regulations and safeguards. Appropriate recognition

of volunteer services shall be made annually.
