That's why you should volunteer to go with your kid, common sense[/quote]

Do the volunteers need background checks?[/quote]

Yes, but most schools do not take parents to outdoor ed.[/quote]

My kid's school asked parents to help chaperone Outdoor Ed (they were looking for one same-sex parent per cabin), and warned them to set up their background check appointments early because it took some time to get the results. I did not go, but I was background checked twice for chaperoning music field trips to Busch Gardens, because even though there's no overnight, it's longer than a normal school day (leave at 6am, return at 10pm, except if the bus breaks down, which happened once). Each check is valid for three years, and my kids are 5 years apart, so I had to do it twice. The process is easy, it just takes several weeks for results to arrive.

Me again. MCPS volunteers who do the background check, or who serve in a regular capacity, also need to complete child neglect and abuse training. You are taught to recognize some signs, not to touch children or be alone with one, and you are taught to report anything of concern to CPS.[/quote]
