IMPORTANT INFORMATION FOR OUR VOLUNTEERS.
Your involvement as a volunteer at SCSC is very important to us. Act 153 requires that every five years all volunteers who have interaction with children get:
- a criminal history record check
- a child abuse record check
- a FBI clearance which requires fingerprinting. FBI fingerprinting is required only if you have lived outside of Pennsylvania in the last ten years. If you have lived in Pennsylvania for 10 or more consecutive years, complete the Clearance Affidavit and have it notarized.
You must have these clearances if you want to volunteer at the school. You can learn more about the law by visiting the PA Department of Human Service website.
