Who is a volunteer?
A volunteer is defined as a non-paid individual who, with District authorization, assists students, schools, or educational programs. We have two types of volunteers in our District: General Clearance Volunteers and Extended Clearance Volunteers. All volunteers are required to complete a volunteer application, code of conduct form, and have a clear tuberculosis screen on file. Additional information and documents are required if an extended volunteer clearance is desired.
-
All volunteer clearances expire annually on June 30 and must be renewed each school year.

General Clearance Volunteers
These include classroom volunteers and other on-campus school volunteers who are directly supervised at all times by LVJUSD staff.
General Clearance requires:
- Completion of the LVJUSD Volunteer Application and acknowledgement of our Code of Conduct in the Raptor online portal.
- Scanning of a government-issued ID via the Raptor system when checking in through the main office at a school site.
- Clear tuberculosis screen record on file. TB screenings are valid for four years, but need to be resubmitted annually via the Raptor portal.
-
Extended Clearance Volunteers
These include volunteers who may interact with students without direct supervision by LVJUSD staff. The extended clearance applies to program-related volunteers such as assistant club leaders, field trip or overnight chaperones, drivers, and other volunteers who will be interacting with students without the presence of a staff member. These volunteers must have school site approval to obtain this level of clearance prior to completion of being cleared to volunteer.
