To all teachers, coaches, school and parish employees/volunteers: The Office for Child and Office of Child and Youth Protection feels very strongly that through a solid partnership between parents/guardians and schools, we can successfully create a network of protection around your children. We accomplish this, in part, through our Safe Environment Program.
All volunteers are required to have a Criminal Record Check and Child Abuse Clearance on file, attend a safe environment class and complete the online Mandated Reporter Training.
CLEARANCES:
Criminal Record Check
Child Abuse Clearance
Federal Fingerprint Check (FBI)
*The Pennsylvania Criminal Background Check and Pennsylvania Child Abuse History Clearance are now free for volunteers! For the Federal Fingerprint Check the fee remains unchanged. These clearances must be updated every 5 years.
