That's why you should volunteer to go with your kid, common sense
Do the volunteers need background checks?

Outdoor Ed is a great chance for students to do something uncomfortable but safe. I agree that they should be fed appropriately. A bit of independence is a good thing in my opinion. I loved it when I went.

Oh wow, my daughter went last school year and loved it. She still talks about how she wishes it was longer and had zero complaints about the food.

You want everyone to take a polygraph test to attest they're not doing bad things?

It's more the other staff. These staff are working with your kids every day so if it will happen, it will happen at school. Our school doesn't follow safe sport and teachers have private groups, parents aren't allowed in (yes, we check it), which is more concerning.

Every current working MCPS employee has completed a criminal background check.

I feel like mcps needs to not let staff attend outdoor ed overnight unless they've had a background check....common sense right?
