Parents/Caregiver,
We would like to inform you that there will be two upcoming volunteer training opportunities:
1. April 25th at Mountain View School at 5:00 pm
2. April 27th at Peterstown School at 9:00 am
We would also like to inform you that Monroe County Schools now has two options for the background check:
1. Be fingerprinted at the volunteer training by a Monroe County Sheriff Deputy or designee and pay an $18.00 fee by Money Order, Debit or Credit Card. Money order must be made payable to Treasury of the United States. Checks or Cash will not be accepted.
2. Select to do a digital fingerprint via Identogo, with the closest locations being Princeton or Lewisburg. This fee is $32.50 and must be paid online via Debit or Credit Card. A fingerprint code would be given to you once the required volunteer training is completed.
From our experience, option 1 does hold a risk of not being a readable fingerprint and individuals may need to be fingerprinted again which delays in us receiving the background check in a timely manner. The digital fingerprint, although more expensive, returns a background check in a shorter amount of time. It is the choice of the volunteer which option thy would like to choose.
If you have any questions, please contact Toby McMahan (304) 772-4903
We appreciate and thank you for the time each and every one of you give to the children of Monroe County.
