VOLUNTEER RELEASE & ACKNOWLEDGEMENT
I shall respect the privacy concerns of students and staff, and I shall hold in confidence all information learned in the course of my volunteer service, whether that information is obtained through electronic or written records or daily interaction. I will not disclose an individual’s confidences to anyone, except: 1) as mandated by law; 2) to prevent a clear and immediate danger to a person or persons. I shall store or dispose of records in ways that maintain confidentiality.
I understand that I am responsible for following District procedures regarding maintaining professional staff/student boundaries, incident reporting, and consequences of engaging in boundary invasions. I understand that while school volunteers are not legally mandated reporters of suspected child abuse, the District's expectation is that volunteers contact an administrator or staff member promptly regarding any inappropriate incident, conduct, or behavior.
Under district policy 6530, volunteers are eligible for liability indemnification while acting in compliance with the policies and procedures of the District and within the scope of their assigned volunteer activities. I understand that I am a volunteer for the Stanwood-Camano School District, not an employee. I acknowledge that the District does not provide any accidental medical insurance coverage for volunteer activities and that I am aware of and assume all risks of injury or damage to my person or property. As a volunteer, I do not qualify for workers’ compensation benefits and I assume financial responsibility for any injuries I may incur while performing volunteer services.
I have read the volunteer handbook, or had it read to me and I am familiar with its contents. I understand that the handbook is intended to cover the procedures, rules and policies most often applied to day-to-day volunteer activities, and that some of the information will change from time to time as procedures evolve. The handbook is available for viewing and download on the volunteer page of the district website or I may request a printed copy from the district.
By typing my name below, I indicate that I acknowledge the information above and I agree to comply with all district, school and classroom rules, procedures and policies. I further agree to follow the directions of District faculty and staff when on school grounds and/or at school-sponsored events.
