Approve Volunteer Aides for Athletic Coaches, List 12/12/06 (Athletics)

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

The practice of athletic coaches using volunteer aides to assist in coaching their teams has been used for many years and enhances athletic programs. Each year, application forms for all volunteer aides are provided to the Office of Professional Standards to complete a criminal history investigation within 2 to 3 days. Applicants are also fingerprinted once every three years.

No volunteer aide is permitted to assist in any capacity until cleared by the Office of Professional Standards. Prospective volunteer aides listed on the attachment have been cleared to assist with the various sports programs. All volunteer aides serve at the direction of district coach employees.
