Volunteer Agreement
As a volunteer, I agree to abide by all relevant Board policies and administrative guidelines while on duty for the District. I understand that as a volunteer, I am prohibited from accepting compensation from any third party or source, including, but not limited to booster, parent or other District support organizations, for the performance of my duties as a volunteer on behalf of the District. I understand that, although I am covered under the District's liability insurance policy, I am not covered by its health insurance policy nor am I eligible for workers' compensation. Should I become ill or suffer an accident while doing volunteer work for the District, I agree that I shall be responsible for any and all hospital and medical charges that may accrue. I understand further that, as a volunteer, I am not in any manner considered an employee of the District or entitled to any benefits provided to employees.
I further release the Akron Board of Education from any and all liability for any damages, whatever their nature, which may result as a consequence of my volunteer services. I understand that all volunteers need to display appropriate behavior at all times. In accordance with R.C. 109.575, I may be required to provide a set of fingerprints at any time so that a criminal records check can be conducted. If a criminal records check is conducted, it will be done as a condition of my initial or continued service as a volunteer. If a criminal records check indicates that a volunteer has been convicted of or pleaded guilty to any of the offenses described in R.C.109.572(A)(1), the volunteer will be informed of the Board's actions in accordance with Board Policies 3120.09 and 4120.09.
DUTY TO MAINTAIN CONFIDENTIALITY OF STUDENT RECORDS AND INFORMATION
The District is committed to maintaining the security and confidentiality of all student records and/or student personally identifiable information. As a volunteer in the District, I may have access to student records and/or student personally identifiable information that must be maintained as confidential and not released and/or permitted access to except as authorized by Board policy and law. Violations of this duty may result in a reassignment and/or restriction of my volunteer responsibilities by the building principal or designee. As a volunteer I agree to comply with the following: To treat any and all student records confidential and not place any student information where they may be viewed by others. I agree not to discuss or repeat information overheard while in the staff lounge, classrooms, offices, school grounds, hallways, school or extra-curricular activities. I understand that I may not discuss information obtained while in a classroom, such as a student's grade or behavior, with anyone other than the student's teacher or the building principal. I agree to bring any concerns or questions regarding student records or issues of confidentiality to the attention of the building principal. I also agree that if I have any knowledge of a violation of these provisions I will immediately report the violation to the building principal.
