Volunteering in schools is a wonderful, beneficial experience that rewards not only the students and the teachers, but also the volunteers themselves. It provides an opportunity to create positive relationships and support schools in succeeding in their overall goal of student achievement. Superior Elementary understands it is our responsibility to ensure the safety of our students. To promote a safe, nurturing, and supportive educational environment in which students can pursue their educational goals, Superior Elementary will maintain a background screening program for regularly scheduled volunteers as part of the approval process for volunteering in school activities and events. Beginning with the 2011-2012 school year, all regular volunteers will be required to complete the background screening program each year prior to volunteering that year.

 

Where do I go to complete the background screening?

Adults requesting to be considered regular volunteers in Boulder Valley School District (BVSD) must complete an online background screening at the following website:www.tclogiq.com/bvsdv

 

Is this a credit check?

No. The information obtained from the background screening will be used for the sole purpose of determining eligibility of volunteering in Boulder Valley School District and will not be shared or given to any other agency. Any information obtained will remain confidential and will be viewed only by the BVSD Human Resources Department.

 

Who looks at the information?

The BVSD volunteer background screening program will be maintained by a company called TCLogiQ. The information obtained from the background screening will be used for the sole purpose of determining eligibility of volunteering in Boulder Valley School District and will not be shared or given to any other agency. Any information obtained will remain confidential and will be viewed only by the BVSD Human Resources Department.

How much does the background screening cost?

TCLogiQ will accept payment through the online payment service Authorized.Net - MasterCard, Visa, Discover, and American Express are accepted. Other forms of payment are also accepted and can be arranged through TCLogiQ.

 

How often is the background screening required?
