State law requires some volunteers to also undergo a criminal background check. Volunteers who will be responsible for students must have a background check in addition to taking the Mandated Reporters course online. Some examples include:
- taking a student/small groups of students out of the classroom to work with them independently
- a chaperone on a field trip that will be responsible for a group of students
- a chaperone who is responsible for a group of students on an overnight trip (Ex. 3 or 4 students assigned to a room to be chaperoned by a volunteer)
