Volunteer procedures: CMS Guidelines
Volunteers
A priority for CMS’s volunteer program is to ensure our students’ safety in the school environment. Volunteer screening is part of this effort. Screening starts with all volunteers registering to volunteer online at http://volunteer.cms.k12.nc.us. Additional screening is
dependent on the assigned task, the degree of supervision of the volunteer, and the nature of the volunteer’s contact with the students. The level of volunteer screening will increase as a volunteer’s contact with a student increases and the degree of staff supervision decreases.
There are several methods used for screening including: completion of the volunteer profile, interviews by appropriate CMS staff, reference checks, criminal and other background checks, orientations and training's. The benchmark for criminal background checks is
the assignment of a volunteer to a position where he/she would be alone/unsupervised with a student. Some examples of volunteer 50 assignments that may be unsupervised would include mentors, overnight field trip chaperones, volunteer athletic coaches, and more
depending on the scope of the volunteer assignment given by the school. For unsupervised volunteer assignments, additional information is requested for the background check as well as permission to conduct the background screening. In addition, the volunteer is requested to provide three non-family references with a reference questionnaire to be completed and returned to the school. The school reviews the references for appropriateness.
