Volunteer Background Checks
PLEASE CONTACT MRS. FUERNSTEIN WITH ANY QUESTIONS (812-623-2235 EXT 15904)
To all Sunman Elementary Volunteers:
ANY volunteer that is in the building to work with children, attend classroom parties or go on fieldtrips, will need to have a background check completed and on file here at Sunman Elementary BEFORE they can volunteer. Both background checks are good for 5 years. the office will keep a current list of the volunteers that have completed these requirements. These background checks transfer between schools if you have more than one student in our district. Outside background checks CANNOT be accepted.
If the volunteer is under the DIRECT supervision of a Sunman Employee AT ALL TIMES they will need to have a limited background check at NO COST to them. We will need your full legal name and date of birth. There is a release form in the office that will need to be signed before the limited background check can be processed. Please see Mrs. Fuernstein in the office for the form.
If the volunteer will AT ANY TIME be in charge of children outside of the classroom for any reason or without the DIRECT supervision of a Sunman Employee, they will need to have an extended background check that the volunteer will need to pay for (cost is currently $18) This is done online through Safe Hiring Solutions. Please call Mrs. Fuernstein in the office (812-623-2235 ext 15904) once you have completed the application.
Click here for the Safe Hiring Solutions website. Please select Volunteer Check.
It will be the responsibility of the volunteer to let Mrs. Fuernstein know they have completed the background check. Please keep in mind the background checks can take anywhere from 1-3 weeks to receive back.
ALL VOLUNTEERS will need to enter the school through the OFFICE, sign in and out on our computerized system and wear the printed name badge while in the building.
