[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]From an email today. What a mess.

Dear Valued FCPS Volunteer,

Thank you for your dedication and willingness to serve our students. Your time and commitment are invaluable to our schools. We are sharing an important update to the volunteer process. Effective today, we are implementing an immediate, temporary operational change to the Level 3 volunteer background check process.

What this means for you:

[b]Pause on Fingerprinting[/b]: Effective immediately, we are pausing the requirement for most Level 3 volunteer fingerprinting and FBI Rap Back enrollment. If you are scheduled for an upcoming fingerprinting appointment, please cancel your appointment unless you are a mentor, host parent, or non-parent volunteer having frequent, direct, and unsupervised contact with students, which will still require fingerprinting. FCPS is charged if individuals miss a fingerprinting appointment without canceling in advance.
[b]If you have already been fingerprinted[/b]: If you have already been fingerprinted and are waiting for your Level 3 clearance, your application and fingerprint results will be processed. You may volunteer while your application is being processed. Once your application has been processed, you will receive communication directly through Volunteer FCPS regarding your status and eligibility.
[b]New Attestation Requirement[/b]: To ensure continuous safety, all new volunteers will be required to sign a Volunteer Certification Statement. This statement is a legal attestation confirming you have no history of violent felonies, physical/sexual crimes against children, or crimes of moral turpitude. Volunteers who have already submitted an application also provided a statement regarding their criminal history in their application, and do not have any additional steps regarding this attestation.
This operational adjustment is necessary because the high volume of Level 3 applications has caused significant delays, which in turn impact our ability to clear volunteers quickly and effectively. Our goal is to streamline the process while keeping student safety as our top priority.

Please remember that you must sign in and out using the Visitor Management System (VMS) kiosk at the school front office or vestibule every time you visit a school and wear an FCPS-issued visitor/volunteer sticker at all times.

All volunteers are also still asked to refer to volunteer.fcps.edu to look for and sign up for volunteer opportunities.

We appreciate your patience, flexibility, and feedback as we deploy this new volunteer management system. Please reach out to Volunteer@fcps.edu should you have any questions or concerns about this update.
