Clearance Information
Pennsylvania law requires school volunteer clearances. Adults applying for, or holding an unpaid position as a volunteer with a child care service, a school or a program, activity or service responsible for a child’s welfare or having direct volunteer contact with children, will need the following clearances submitted every five years:
Act 34 - PA State Police Criminal Record Check
https://epatch.pa.gov/TandCVolunteer
Act 151 - PA Child Abuse History
https://www.compass.state.pa.us/cwis/public/home
Act 114 - FBI Criminal History Check (Fingerprints)
https://www.identogo.com/locations/pennsylvania
On the website - click digital fingerprinting, then enter code 1KG6XN. There is a $25.00 fee for this service.
Generally, the state waives the fee for the Act 34 and Act 151 clearances for volunteers, please see each website for more information.
Completed clearances can be sent into the JEC office or emailed to Alison Bollard- abollard@npsd.org.
If you have any questions, please contact your school's PTA President. Parents without clearances on file will not be able to volunteer in our school or chaperone class field trips.
You must also be a member of the PTA to volunteer at the school or chaperone field trips.
