Child Protective Services Law

On December 31, 2014, changes to the Child Protective Services Law became effective. The changes directly impact the background clearances requirements for employees and volunteers. Additionally, the changes to the law further define the term "volunteer". The new definition is:

"An adult applying for an unpaid position as a volunteer who is responsible for the welfare of a child or having direct contact with children."

Effective Date

 July 1, 2015 - Volunteers must have all required clearance documents on file with the District and must renew all required clearance documents on a three-year cycle.
