VOLUNTEER BACKGROUND SCREENINGS
for the 2012-2013 SCHOOL YEAR
(This is a one-time background check and needs to be completed
as soon as possible because processing can take up to 12 weeks.)
The Boulder Valley School District is continuing to require our volunteers to have background screenings. We are excited they are providing the new option of doing background checks through the Colorado Bureau of Investigation. This is the best way to complete your background check because this will allow you to complete it once, and it will be good for all of the years that you are associated with BVSD. You will not need to complete it each year as we did with TCLogiQ. It can take CBI up to twelve weeks to complete the processing so we encourage you to try and complete this process as soon as possible. Please follow this procedure:
Step 1
A convenient location to get fingerprints taken is at the Boulder County Sheriff Office at 5600 Flatiron Pkwy in Boulder, 303.441.3600. They are open Monday through Friday 11 am to 4:30 pm. For Boulder County Residents, it is $10.00 per card, and for non-Boulder County residents it is $15.00 per card. The fingerprinting cards will be available there. It is CASH OR CHECK ONLY. Please check at Flatirons if you need a scholarship.
Step 2
When you complete your fingerprints, please take your fingerprinting card, a completed Volunteer Background Screening CBI/Fingerprint Information Sheet and a check for $39.50 made out to Boulder Valley School District to the Education Center at 6500 East Arapahoe in Boulder and drop it off in Human Resources or bring them to the office at Flatirons Elementary, and we will send them through district mail. Please make a copy of your Volunteer Background Screening CBI/Fingerprint Information Sheet and give it to the office so we will know that you have completed your application process. THANK YOU FOR VOLUNTEERING AT FLATIRONS!
OR
www.tclogiq.com/bvsdv/ This must be completed every school year. The cost of the background screen is $16.00 or $22.50 if driving students plus applicable state fees. The fee will be paid to TCLogiQ by the volunteer at the time he/she goes online to initiate a background screen. 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. Should you have any questions/concerns about the background screening call TClogiQ directly at 1-877-825-6447. Turnaround time for background screenings is 24-36 hours. |

Thank you for volunteering to work with Flatirons/BVSD! Volunteers make up a very important part of the Flatirons/BVSD community and we appreciate your desire to work with us to achieve greater service for all of the communities we serve. 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.
Flatirons 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, Flatirons will maintain a background screening program for regularly scheduled volunteers as part of the approval process for volunteering in school activities and events.
