Ensuring student safety
While the district recognizes, appreciates, and respects the commitment and dedication of its many volunteers, our top priority is safety. One way we protect students is by thoroughly screening the volunteers who work with students one on one, during an overnight trip, or in an unsupervised capacity on a regular basis.
Anyone wishing to volunteer with Beavercreek City Schools, including student mentors and parents, may be asked to submit an online application and consent to a criminal history check. ALL BACKGROUND CHECKS ARE CONDUCTED AT NO COST TO THE VOLUNTEER. You will be notified by the school after submitting the Volunteer Release Form if this step is necessary.
How our background checks work
The school district’s volunteer background check process includes a nationwide search of criminal databases and sex offender registries. There is no charge for the background check, and no information about the content or nature of the background check is shared with school principals or staff. Social Security numbers are strictly confidential and are never made available to school personnel.
Please be truthful in your application, and rest assured that a minor infraction in your past will not prevent you from volunteering.
