[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]That's not the point. The point are they really legally allowed to do that (in which case the law/policy is the problem)? Or are they making it up (in which case the school is the problem) For regular volunteers I can understand the requirement. For a parent coming to school once in a blue moon this is an overreach in my opinion. Why do I have to "learn" to jump through additional hoops with no reasonable rationale for it. Who know what they will come up with next - mentality of just complying with everything that gets thrown at you without any critical thinking is not the way to go.[/quote]

To be frank, an adult volunteering in the classroom or going on fields trips needs to have a background and fingerprint check. I dont know you.

Once in a blue moon could be 3-4 a year. Thats not once. Second, it should be done when your kid enters the school and then you have 6 years of volunteering so it ends up being multiple times over the course of the year.

[b]I had to pay 68 for a fingerprint and background check to do these things. Just like every adult in the school[/b]. If its too big a hump for you oh well. [/quote]

Um, no. Every parent does not need to pay to have their fingerprints done and background checks to be able to volunteer. Especially to volunteer once.
