Volunteers
Laguna Beach Unified School District uses the Raptor Volunteer Management System. All Tier 1 and Tier 2 volunteers must complete a volunteer application and receive clearance before volunteering in our schools.
Who Can Volunteer?
A volunteer is a parent, guardian, or community member who assists at a school site or program during or outside of school hours on a regular or semi-regular basis. In accordance with Board Policy 1240 and California Education Code 35021:
-
Volunteers serving 5 hours or less per week require a Megan’s Law clearance via the Raptor Visitor Management System.
-
Volunteers serving more than 5 hours per week, chaperoning field trips, transporting students, or who are not directly supervised must complete Live Scan Fingerprint clearance through the FBI/DOJ prior to volunteering.
In addition, Assembly Bill (AB) 506 and Senate Bill (SB) 848 require all volunteers to complete annual training on child abuse and neglect reporting.
Tier I Volunteers (supervised, less than 5 hours per week)
Examples: front office/copy volunteers, committee volunteers, and volunteers that work under the direct supervision of District Staff.
Requirements:
- Complete Mandated Reporter training (required annually)
- Register an account with the District Raptor System
- Read the LBUSD Volunteer Handbook
- Sign in at the Raptor kiosk located in the school's front office
- Adhere to all school site safety protocols
Tier II Volunteers (unsupervised, more than 5 hours per week)
Examples: coach, tutor, or other unsupervised school settings (e.g., field trip chaperone, overnight school-sponsored trips, driver of students).
Requirements:
- Complete Mandated Reporter training (required annually)
- Register an account with the District Raptor System
- Read the LBUSD Volunteer Handbook
- Live Scan Fingerprint clearance
- TB risk assessment
- Sign in at the Raptor kiosk located in the school office
- Adhere to all school site safety protocols
TB tests are valid for four years, so volunteers do not need to complete a new test each year. Please keep a copy of your current TB test documentation with your personal medical records so you can provide it annually as part of the volunteer clearance process.
Complete the Volunteer Application
Thank you for your interest in becoming a Laguna Beach Unified School District-approved volunteer. Please begin the process by filling out our application.
REMINDER: Please complete the application with your legal name as it appears on your ID or Driver's License.
After you submit your application, you will receive a confirmation email from Raptor. Tier II volunteers will also receive instructions for completing the required Live Scan (background check). All volunteer applications remain pending until all required documents have been submitted and verified, including Mandated Reporter Training and Department of Justice (DOJ) clearance (if applicable).
