Volunteer Requirements
The SECC continually strives to ensure that children in our schools are protected from all harm. Parents who wish to volunteer on campus or attend field trips must be trained and background-checked to ensure student safety. Our school policies comply with the new AB506 law for volunteers in youth service organizations.
To streamline the process and ensure consistency, SECC no longer distinguishes between tiers or levels of volunteers. All individuals who wish to volunteer-regardless of how often or in what capacity-are required to complete the same set of safety and clearance steps. This includes classroom helpers, event volunteers, field trip chaperones, overnight participants, and coaches.

1. Live Scan Background Check
