[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]FYI- PGCPS has implemented a new background check policy.  If you are going to volunteer more than once at the school or for any field trip you need to be fingerprinted and have a Child Protective Services background check.  The commercial background check is not sufficient for Field Trips any longer.
I went to the fingerprinting office today and the whole process took 1 hour.  There is a waiver of the fingerprinting fee for families who qualify for free and reduced lunch.  
Nothing has been updated on the website and may principals are only learning about it now.

A few years ago my husband and I did both the fingerprinting and background check which is good for our children's entire time in PGCPS.  Not trying to be flippant, just trying to make sure I understand.  We now have to go back and get a different background check?  Thanks for posting this info because when I heard someone mention the CPS background check they never clarified that the previous check was "commercial" and is no longer sufficient.  [/quote]

I think that the previous fingerprinting is still valid. I have a call into the fingerprinting office and will ask when they call back.[/quote]
