Because we have a school on our campus, we are required to obtain a criminal background check and negative PPD test results on all volunteer applicants who will be working one-on-one with students or clients. The fees associated with these requirements are the responsibility of the volunteer applicant. Please refer to the U.S. Department of Education's State Regulation of Private Schools for more information.
