Excellence in engaging, empowering, and enriching today for tomorrow’s expectations
As required by the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, anyone volunteering their time in a school district or for a district-sponsored event must have the following clearances on file in the district’s personnel office: State Police Clearance (Act 34), Child Abuse Clearance (Act 151) and the FBI Clearance (fingerprinting). Volunteers must renew their clearances every 60 months (5 years).
The Keystone Oaks School District values the thousands of hours that parents and other members of the community volunteer at sporting events, on field trips and in the classroom. In accordance with this state law, Keystone Oaks School District now has the following policies and practices in place for anyone who volunteers events and activities involving Keystone Oaks students:
The State Police Clearance and Child Abuse Clearance are free for volunteers. Volunteers are required to pay for the cost of the FBI Fingerprinting Clearance (if needed).
