SRVUSD Newsflash: Important Updates for Volunteer Clearance Process and Background Check fees 2025-26![]()
New Background Check and Training Requirements
In alignment with California State Assembly Bill 506, effective July 1, 2025, all volunteers will be required to complete a Livescan fingerprint background check as well as mandated reporter and sexual harassment prevention training to be eligible to volunteer for the 2025-26 school year. Once fingerprinted for SRVUSD, volunteers will not need to repeat the process in future years.
-
Current Level 3 volunteers cleared through BAM: no action is required for the background check. Annual online training is required, and a current DMV driving report must be uploaded.
-
Current Level 1 and 2 volunteers: You will receive an email from BAM prompting you to complete the new requirements.
Volunteers must complete all requirements before working at fall registration, classroom assignments, and all 2025-26 school events. We strongly encourage you to begin this process starting June 1, 2025. Volunteers in the BAM system who have not completed all requirements will be unable to volunteer until clearance is complete.
-
New Volunteers: Level 1 volunteer or Level 2 volunteer, with driving: Please submit your volunteer application through BAM to begin the clearance process on or after June 1, 2025.
Effective July 1, 2025, volunteers will be classified as Level 1 (cleared for all events, no driving) or Level 2 (cleared for all events, including driving). Current Level 3 volunteers will be reclassified to Level 2.
