Volunteers

No. Providing the last four digits of your social security number on this form is voluntary. If for any reason we are unable to complete the criminal history check, we may ask you to provide additional means of identification. If you do provide your social security number, it will be used to ensure you are not misidentified. Your social security number will be used only as stated above. State and Federal law protects the privacy of your records. Student volunteers (under age 18) do not need to provide a social security number or driver license number on their application.

Yes. Even if a student teacher or intern completes a criminal history check through a university or licensing agency, they are required to complete a Salem-Keizer School District criminal history check prior to beginning student teaching. Please contact the Human Resources Department at 503-399-3061 for additional information.

Once you submit your application and criminal history check, you will be notified via telephone, mail, or email if your application requires additional review. If you would like to discuss your situation prior to submitting a criminal history form, please contact the Human Resources Department at 503-399-3061.

After you submit your application and complete the volunteer trainings, you may start volunteering when approval is given by Prevention and Protection/Human Resources staff. During peak times this process can take several weeks, so please submit your application early!
