Volunteers

Before volunteering, all individuals must:

1. Contact Human Resources at hr@desd.k12.or.us - to arrange to have the Volunteer Packet sent to you. The packet will be sent via DocuSign.
2. Complete a Criminal History Background Check (included in the packet).
3. Complete the required Vector Solutions/SafeSchools Training for Volunteers/Parents/Contractors. 
4. Training INstructions
5. Review and acknowledge the Abuse and Sexual Conduct Information provided in the packet.

There is no cost to complete these steps, and all information is kept confidential. Background checks are required annually and apply to all volunteer roles—including classroom helpers and field trip chaperones. Please note: individuals may not begin volunteering until the background check is approved.

Having a prior conviction does not automatically disqualify someone from volunteering. Each situation is reviewed individually.

To learn more about the requirements under Senate Bill 155, visit the Oregon Department of Education website.
