Currently, policy 03.6 states that volunteers who come on a regularly scheduled and or/continuing basis shall have a fingerprint background and a CA/N check completed.  This costs the volunteer $61.25 to complete as compared to a volunteer background which costs $10.00.  District policy says ‘shall’ but the law KRS 160.380 (6)(d)says ‘may’.

(d) A superintendent may require a volunteer or a visitor to submit to a national and state criminal history background check by the Department of Kentucky State Police and the Federal Bureau of Investigation and have a clear CA/N check, provided by the individual

The District requests to change the volunteer policy to match the law.
