Re: Volunteer Screening?

I'm a teacher here in Zeeland. All I can say is this: We don't care how old a person is, if he/she is a registered student at our school, he/she is a student first an 18+ year old kid second. If they do something stupid the school rules would apply. I don't think FIRST wants a background check on a student in a high school.

If you are 18 and out of high school and a volunteer who will have direct contact with students you will need a background check or volunteer screening.

I would encourage all teachers to look at volunteer screening at your school. As I stated before FIRST will except it. In my case my school (not me) will take the responsibility for management of this process and any fees associated with background checks on a “volunteer” engineer.

Take care,

Steve Yasick
