District committee approves amendments to volunteer screening, expands school-level coordination
Summary
The Detroit Public Schools Community District policy committee approved tied amendments that clarify how community partner volunteers are screened, speed review for named partners and create a school-based volunteer lead stipend and badge process, district staff said.
The Detroit Public Schools Community District policy committee voted to approve a package of policy amendments that, among other changes, clarify how volunteers from external partner programs are screened and how schools will manage volunteer sign-ups and badges.
District staff described the change as driven by a partnership with the city’s program to place “scribe” and other community-based volunteers in schools. District staff said the amendment will allow staff to review partner programs and, in certain circumstances, permit named individuals from those programs to volunteer more quickly after an expedited review.
