Volunteers

Our volunteers are an invaluable resource to our teachers and students. Each year, many volunteers assist us with helping our students in different ways such as chaperones on field trips, serving as assistant club advisors, working in classrooms, and keeping our programs functioning by transporting our students to and from activities.

The Pleasanton Unified School District Volunteer Management System includes three (3) levels of volunteer clearance and tracking. We ask that the level of clearance is chosen based on the anticipated volunteer activities

Level 1 — Basic Level Clearance: Classroom volunteers and other on-campus school volunteers who are directly supervised at all times by PUSD staff

Level 2 — Extended Level Clearance: Volunteers who are interacting with students without direct supervision by PUSD staff

The extended level clearance applies to program-related volunteers such as assistant club leaders, field trip chaperones, and other volunteers who will be interacting with students without the presence of a PUSD staff member. These volunteers must have school site approval to obtain this level of clearance prior to completion of the PUSD 2022–23 Volunteer Clearance Form. These volunteers must complete the following requirements:

Completion of the PUSD 2022–23 Volunteer Clearance Form
Driver’s License scan via the Raptor system when checking in through the main office of a school site
LiveScan Fingerprinting (DOJ and FBI)*

Level 3 — Student Transportation Clearance: Volunteers who will be transporting students as a driver for field trips, extracurricular activities and/or athletic events

This level of clearance requires:

Completion of the PUSD 2022–23 Volunteer Clearance Form
Driver’s License scan via the Raptor system when checking in through the main office of a school site
LiveScan Fingerprinting (DOJ and FBI)
If transporting students in a personal vehicle, proof of insurance is required and must be verified. Minimum insurance level verification - All drivers must maintain liability insurance of at least $100,000/$300,000 bodily injury and $25,000 property damage and $5,000 Medical Payment per occurrence. Print, complete and submit the Volunteer Driver Transportation Form along with supporting documentation to your school office.
