Uxbridge subcommittee flags volunteer fingerprinting discrepancy for review
Summary
Subcommittee members flagged a mismatch between PTO communications asking volunteers to be fingerprinted and the district handbook, which does not explicitly require fingerprinting; the committee will revisit the issue and seek clarity before enforcement.
During the meeting the chair raised concerns that parent-teacher organization communications were telling volunteers they must be fingerprinted, while the subcommittee's current policy and handbook language do not explicitly require fingerprinting.
The chair said, "It's not in our policy that they need to be fingerprinted," and asked that the committee revisit the matter soon to resolve the discrepancy so volunteers receive consistent guidance. Members agreed to continue the discussion offline and to bring a clarified recommendation back to the committee after consulting with appropriate staff.
No formal action was taken; the subcommittee scheduled follow-up conversations to reconcile PTO communications with current policy language.
