District policy requires all volunteers that will be going on any field trips or working one on one with students to complete a background check.
1. Apply Online
Complete the online volunteer application and select the school or schools where you would like to volunteer. Each applicant must use their own individual email address when creating a Frontline account.
2. School Review
Your selected school will review your application and determine the appropriate level of volunteer access based on the activities you may be performing.
Supervised Access:
You will remain under the direct supervision of a Jordan School District employee while volunteering.
Unsupervised Access:
Your volunteer activities may include working with students outside the direct supervision of a District employee.
3. HR Review
Human Resources will review any required clearance information. If unsupervised access is requested, HR will determine whether an appropriate background check is already on file and whether any additional screening is required. If your existing background check meets District requirements, additional fingerprinting may not be necessary. The Volunteer Code of Conduct requirements are included as part of the online application.
4. Fingerprinting, If Required
If a new background check is required, Human Resources will email you:
- Instructions for completing the required background check form.
- Information about the fingerprinting process.
- A private link to schedule an appointment at the Human Resources office.
Please do not schedule fingerprinting unless Human Resources contacts you. After fingerprinting, BCI typically takes up to 14 days to return results.
5. You're Approved!
Once all required clearance steps are complete, you will receive an approval email through Frontline. Please wait until you receive this approval before beginning your volunteer assignment.
Your school will verify your approval status in Frontline and provide information about scheduling, check-in procedures, badges, or other school-specific requirements.
Applications Must Be Completed Annually
All volunteers must complete a new online volunteer application each school year.
BCI requires the District to remove background check information for individuals who are no longer working or volunteering with the District. The annual application allows Human Resources to confirm who is actively volunteering.
A new application does not necessarily mean a new background check is required. HR will review your existing background check status and contact you if additional action is needed.
