Important Updates for the 2026-2027 School Year
Government-Issued Photo Identification Upload Requirement
A new requirement has been added to the volunteer application process.
In addition to the initial photo capture of an identification document, applicants must now upload a PDF or image copy of a valid government-issued photo ID. This means you will need to upload a government-issued photo ID in 2 places.
This enhancement allows volunteer records to be retained even if the original ID image is no longer visible within the system, helping prevent volunteers from having to resubmit applications due to missing identification records.
Please remember:
- The uploaded document must be a valid, current government-issued photo ID (no military ID’s please).
- The name on the volunteer application must exactly match the name on the identification document.
- If the names do not match, the application should be rejected until the discrepancy has been corrected.
Updated Tuberculosis (TB) Clearance Requirements
Effective immediately, all TB clearances must be documented using the California School Employee Tuberculosis Risk Assessment Questionnaire.
The following documents are the only acceptable forms of TB clearance:
- A completed California School Employee Tuberculosis Risk Assessment Questionnaire
- A clearance chest X-ray report, if required based on the assessment results
Please note that we will no longer accept:
- Physician notes
- Patient portal screenshots
- Blood test results submitted without the required questionnaire documentation
- Any other alternative forms of TB verification
The form can be found on the district volunteer website, or applicants may contact their physician's office to obtain a copy.
TB clearance requirements are pursuant to California Education Code Sections 49406 and 87408.6, and California Health and Safety Code Sections 1597.055, 121525, 121545, and 121555.
