Summary
Board members discussed establishing a vetting process requiring building-administrator recommendations for volunteers, clarified differences between volunteers and hires, and described athletic director oversight for volunteer coaching and swaps with varsity students.
The board discussed changes to how volunteers—particularly athletic volunteers and event helpers—will be vetted and approved.
Speaker 2 described a forthcoming process intended to ensure building administrators recommend volunteers and to distinguish volunteer clearance from hiring procedures. "We simply... looking at putting a process in place that vets those volunteers and provides the board with an understanding that the volunteers are approved and recommended by our building administrators," Speaker 2 said.
The discussion clarified volunteers and hires follow different procedures: hires go through formal interviews and qualification reviews, while volunteers will be recommended by administrators and cleared through the new process. In athletics, Speaker 2 said the athletic director will oversee volunteer assignments and that varsity players may assist youth coaches in a supervised event-exchange model.
No formal vote on the volunteer policy was recorded in the transcript; staff said procedural details would be developed and brought forward for implementation.
