[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Remember this is the second “walk back” of the original policy. The original policy rolled out right before the beginning of the school year, had the level 3 volunteers going to Gatehouse and presenting their documents in person, and getting their fingerprints done in person at Gatehouse as well. Exactly like a teacher, or other staff member who works with children, would have to do when they were hired. Obviously, Gatehouse did not have enough appointments to process all of these people, so then FCPS started the FieldPrint appointments (and, as far as I know, never made an official district wide announcement about it). This meant that you could go present your documents and get fingerprinted at an offsite location as opposed to Gatehouse, and they often had far better availability and there were more of them. Now they’re down to no fingerprints at all because, predictably, the whole requirement was an expensive clusterf*** for FCPS. [/quote]

I agree with all you say here, but also there was the slightly earlier walk-back, too. When this first rolled out in August, it was going to require fingerprinting for Level 2 as well. So, basically, if you were going to volunteer for more than a one-time event, you were going to have to be fingerprinted.[/quote]
