[quote=Anonymous]In FCPS parents are not required to be fingerprinted for background checks. Why? Because the message would be that they're not welcome in their own child's school. Also it would be a barrier to many of our low-income families who would have to travel a distance to our main administrative building for this. We want parents engaged in what's happening at school. The assumption is that they are at school because they care about being involved. For all other volunteers--anyone who is not a parent--they must be fingerprinted and a background check must be done. A volunteer badge is issued. With ALL volunteers, whether a parent or outsider who has a badge, the rule is that none are left alone with any students. They cannot go into an empty room. They always need to be within view of teaching staff. So sitting in the hallway to read is fine. Going into an office with a child is not. [/quote]
