Subject: Fingerprinting no longer required for Level 3 Volunteers
Our school sent the message yesterday, and also if you look on the Volunteer FCPS website, regular field trip chaperones are now Level 2. It also states that all new volunteers will have to sign an attestation statement saying they have not committed a violent crime.

I received that email but from the county, not our school.

"We need to verify that you do not have a criminal history with children, and the only way to do that is to fingerprint and background check you."
2 months later:
"Wait, this is taking too long. Can you just pinky promise you've never hurt a child? Thanks."
This exactly. How ridiculous, so much time and resources wasted, and now it’s pretty much the same as before.

Can I rescind my application if I have been fingerprinted and am waiting for the background check? Or will they process the application?

A couple of days ago they sent an email that you don't need to set up a fingerprinting appointment anymore. You need to sign some sort of paper that you are not a criminal.. I have no idea what it looks like within the website.
Yes, I understand this, but when I went into the website, it is asking me to set up a fingerprinting appointment.

FYI, when I sent an email I September, I got a response 10 days later.

It has nothing to do with the shutdown. The pause is a way of walking back something that wasn't going to be attainable and was a complete mess from the start, though well intentioned.

It probably has to do with the government shutdown, not FCPS lack of planning.
No, it doesn't.

It was and has been a mess. But would you rather they kept the non-working process in order to not make a change mid-year?

No it wasn't. Mess from the very beginning in August with no end in sight.
