Attention Loyal Lion Family!
🔔 Volunteer Clearance System !!🔔
Duval County has launched a new volunteer clearance system with two tiers (existing volunteers should log into the volunteer portal and select which tier they would like as well):
Tier I – Volunteers who work with a Teacher and the whole class, health screenings and school events, class parties, lunch visits etc.
Tier II – Field trip chaperones, one-on-one time with students, or any situation where you’re alone with a student.
📝 Apply here: https://dcps.samaritan.com/custom/506/volunteer_registration
Clearance lasts 5 years
If you’re applying for Tier II, you’ll receive an email with fingerprinting instructions.
