Harrison County Board of Education Policy 6304 School Chaperones, Volunteers, and Vendors

• Student Confidentiality

• Mandatory Reporting

• Drug-Free Workplace Act

School district procedure requires that individuals serving as chaperones for all overnight field trips and some daytime activities must have approval, which requires a criminal background screening. To apply for approval, volunteers must first apply online via Harrison County Schools’ volunteer registration system.

Registrations are processed in 3-5 days, sometimes longer at the beginning of the school year, and then must be submitted to the Harrison County Board of Education for approval. Once approved, the volunteer’s name will appear on the Approved Volunteer list at the school(s) for which they registered.

Harrison County Schools uses SecureVolunteer to process background checks for volunteers. SecureVolunteer is a completely web-based/paperless system. You will receive e-mails from client services email when you submit your information to SecureVolunteer and when your background check is complete.

Prospective vendors are responsible for the SecureVolunteer Background Check processing fee.

We need volunteers just like you!
