Chaperone Information
The Sarasota County School District welcomes volunteers in schools and is grateful for their support. In order to be approved to volunteer in schools, interested individuals first must apply through the school district's volunteer registration system. Volunteers can apply using the volunteer registration computer at any district public school or in the Volunteer and Partnership Office located in the school district administration complex at 1960 Landings Blvd., Sarasota. This application process includes a criminal background screening. The information below describes the various levels of background screenings required for school volunteers. PLEASE NOTE: The level of criminal background screening required of a volunteer is determined by the level of supervision under which the volunteer works and the nature of interaction between the volunteer and the student. Although a volunteer may be called a tutor, a mentor, or a chaperone, those designations may differ from school to school and do not determine the level of screening required.
RAPTOR Screening
Florida state law and Sarasota County School District policy require that every person who visits a district school must be screened through the national sexual predator/offender database. The district uses a program called RAPTOR, the district visitor management system, to perform this screening that is required upon every visit to a school. Although all school volunteers must undergo a criminal background screening (see below) before they are allowed to volunteer in schools, they also are required to be screened through RAPTOR every time they visit a school, as are all visitors to schools.
Level 1 Criminal Background Screening
A Level 1 criminal background screening is required for volunteers when the volunteer is continuously and directly (within sight or hearing) supervised by a school staff member. Level 1 criminal background screenings of volunteers are conducted automatically upon registration by the district’s Department of School Safety and Security at no cost to the volunteer. Volunteer assignments that require Level 1 criminal background screening include but are not limited to the following:
Yes, I would like to volunteer to chaperone for the Busch Gardens field trip.
