Background Checks
A preliminary background check is conducted on all newly registered volunteers.
Board Policy IJOC and IJOC-R, as well as IJOA, require D11 volunteers who perform their duties without the supervision of a District 11 employee to submit to an extensive background check to include being fingerprinted, as we do potential employees.
Security is ONLY available to conduct fingerprinting Tuesdays, 1:00 p.m. -2:00 p.m. and Wednesdays 9:00 a.m. - 10:00 a.m. (by appointment only). To make an appointment, please call (719) 520-2202.
Results of all background checks are shared with school administrators.
Extensive Background Check Procedures:
D11 volunteers requested by school staff to perform their duties without the supervision of a D11 employee (i.e., overnight field trips, out-of-district events) must be fingerprinted and background checked as we do potential employees. The cost of an extensive background check is $54.50, plus an additional $5.00 per alias/maiden name.
Charter School volunteer's cost is $72.40, plus $5.00 per alias/maiden name as directed by Business Services.
Payment must be made at the time the fingerprints are taken.

Elementary, middle and high schools may authorize the charges to a Fund 10 account. Elementary and middle schools ONLY may authorize the charge to a Fund 74 account. Payment from a grant, Fund 22, is also acceptable with signed authorization from the grant manager. High schools ONLY may remit a check. However, the check should accompany the individual(s) at the time the fingerprints are taken. The journal entry form needs to be used if you are charging a fund 10, 74 or 22.

Completed and signed journal entry forms must accompany the individual(s) when requesting fingerprints to be taken OR must be sent to D11 Engage before the individual(s) the potential volunteer proceeds to Security to have their fingerprints taken.
