4127 - VOLUNTEERS

The Board of Education recognizes that more individualization and greater personal attention to the unique needs of students can be provided through the use of volunteers. Moreover, utilizing volunteers provides an opportunity to generate community interest and contribute to the public relations effort of the Board. Therefore, the Board endorses the concept of utilizing community volunteers who are willing to devote time and talent to expand learning experiences.

The principal shall be responsible for inviting the participation of community volunteers, reviewing the capabilities of each applicant, and making appropriate placements. S/He shall not be obligated to place volunteers whose abilities are not in accord with the District's needs.

The principal may terminate the services of any volunteer whose performance is not satisfactory, or whose services are at least temporarily no longer needed.
