Why does the building matter? What does it have to do with it?

In either situation you have an obvious mentally unstable adult with children.

If a man in an old van is giving out candy at a playground… they need a background check for the school playground.. but pay no attention at the city park?

I volunteer at my niece’s school so I had to have a fingerprint check done. And I have to do a school safety course, but that’s dine through the school’s website.

I would not agree to interviewing people, employers and retail agencies.

Just an expansion on that…. Why do they need financial information then? Access to banking info? Credit?

They aren’t renting you an apartment.

Why would you need a background check to attend a field trip with your child?

We have that in our public district. If you chaperone, you are an extension of the staff. Background check required

If you still want to go anyway, then you get no benefits such as transportation, meals, ticket pricing, reserved seating, etc. Plus, you cant have any classmates hang out with your child. They will be assigned to the group with a 'certified' chaperone or staff member

Should these people (readers at drag story hour) have the same background checks?

If they are required of parent-volunteers in a school setting, they should be required of all volunteers in the school setting

The thread is about school activities. Just keeping the hypotheticals parallel.

Breathe

Wanna talk about libraries? OK. If parent-volunteers get a background check at libraries, so should other volunteers. Do you feel all better now?

Yeah, thats the part I take issue with and wouldn't sign it over. That and asking for authorization for your doctors to release medical info.

Jbird posted the language his school uses for their background check authorization and that looks very reasonable and I think the vast majority of would-be volunteers would have no issue agreeing to that.

My son was home schooled, he has 3 black belts, I'd put money on you not lasting 2 minutes with him.

And both of my home schooled kids are in long term marriages.

Lol. I was just pointing to the actual irony and idiocy that is government ran institutions.

Mentally disturbed men are fine to be around kids and get in the floor with them and read them stories of their choosing. No worries. Celebration time.

But a person with proof of an even deeper criminal background check than any contract private company could do to go along with a professional certification is still suspect and in need of a screening. Including a financial check that somehow relates to checking for a criminal or mental related history.

Got damn you gotta love government!

In my best Chris Hansen voice: Why don't you have a seat over there.

Probably need to clarify or qualify that one some. You might pass Hanky's background check, but that gonna be a no from me dawg.

This is to prevent child molesters from volunteering at school functions. Do you have something to hide?

How does a child molester's bank account differ from that of a salt of the earth citizen?

Geez really we put boys in there rooms. Put a piece of tape on the door frame. Initialed the tape.

Moms put the girls in there respective rooms did the tape thing.

Men were in charge of the boys

Moms the girls

Not rocket surgery.

Having said that I had no problem with the background check I and my wife signed. The one in the OP is excessive.

The gossiping secretaries will go through your bank statements to see if there is anything they don’t approve of. When they get done, they will tell you.
