PA  Act 15 of 2015 requires volunteers to have clearances/background checks prior to volunteering in a public school. These clearances are valid for 60 months (5 years) from the date of the clearance. 

The PA Department of Education (PDE) recognizes differences between volunteers and visitors – see examples below and click HERE for more information. Contact our Human Resources with any questions.   

• VOLUNTEERS: Classroom assistants, homeroom parents, field trip chaperones, volunteer recess and library aides, and volunteer coaches and club advisors. Volunteers are routinely responsible for the care, supervision, and/or guidance of children.
  
  
• VISITORS: Parents attending back-to-school nights, parent/teacher conferences, school assemblies/concerts, birthday parties, and Halloween parades, and guest readers, concession stand workers, “Career Day” participants. Visitors are not routinely responsible for the care, supervision, and/or guidance of children. 

The information below is intended for VOLUNTEERS. NOTE: If you are compensated by 有料盒子 by paycheck, parent fund, or student fund, you are NOT a volunteer and must complete employee paperwork.

Mandated Reporter Information: Under Pennsylvania law, any person having direct contact with school children is considered a mandatory reporter and is required to report reasonable suspicion of child abuse.

All 有料盒子 Bucks School District volunteers are mandated reporters. We recommend volunteers complete an online training course through the University of Pittsburgh's Child Welfare Resource Center, “Recognizing and Reporting Child Abuse: Mandated and Permissive Reporting in PA.” Click the link to take the course, then upload your certificate to your App Garden account.  .

Thank you for volunteering your time and service, and for understanding the importance of complying with these state regulations for the safety of our students.
