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

Next Steps: After completion of the PUSD 2022–23 Volunteer Clearance Form, volunteers needing Level 2 or Level 3 clearance will receive instructions regarding the process to complete fingerprinting including the LiveScan registration form.

Voucher: If you would like to receive a District-paid voucher to cover the cost ($70 - $90) of the LiveScan fingerprinting and background check, please check the request voucher box in the volunteer clearance form. Reimbursement is not possible after fingerprinting is complete. If a volunteer didn't request a voucher when filling out the form, but would like one, they are able to obtain one by sending an email to volunteerclearance@pleasantonusd.net to request the voucher be sent before they are fingerprinted. The voucher must be used at the time of the LiveScan fingerprinting in order for PUSD to cover the cost.

Fingerprinting: Once a volunteer has been fingerprinted via LiveScan for the Pleasanton Unified School District, they will not need to be fingerprinted again in the future. To further clarify, this is a one-time requirement and will not have to be completed on an annual basis.

LiveScan is specific to an organization. PUSD does not have access to fingerprinting results completed through other organizations. Therefore, you will need to complete LiveScan fingerprinting for PUSD in order to be cleared to volunteer in PUSD even if you have been fingerprinted previously by other organizations.

Changes to Volunteer Clearance Level: The PUSD 2022-2023 Volunteer Clearance Form should only be submitted ONCE FOR A SINGLE VOLUNTEER. If a volunteer needs to make changes to the volunteer clearance level or has a question about a previous form submission, please email volunteerclearance@pleasantonusd.net.

Overnight Chaperones and Assistant Club Advisors: Overnight chaperones and assistant club advisors have additional steps to take in order to be cleared. Please email volunteerclearance@pleasantonusd.net for questions regarding the clearance process for overnight chaperones and assistant club advisors.
