We appreciate your interest in volunteering with Victoria ISD. Please complete the volunteer application and submit all requested information. All personal information submitted will remain confidential.

If you have any questions or need assistance with the application, please visit the campus where you wish to volunteer.

As part of our 2024-2025 Volunteers in Public Schools program, prospective volunteer applicants have been asked to watch a brief orientation video and read through our VIPS handbook. You can find both of these items on the VISD Volunteer website: https://www.visd.net/page/volunteers. In the following volunteer application, you will be asked to confirm you have completed these steps.

Please read the disclaimer below and provide your signature

I acknowledge that a Computerized Criminal History (CCH) check will be performed by accessing the Texas Department of Public Safety Secure Website and will be based on name and DOB identifiers I supply as required by state law to volunteer in Texas schools. (This is not a consent form, but serves as information for the applicant.) Authority for this agency to access an individual’s criminal history data may be found in Texas Government Code 411; Subchapter F.

Name-based information is not an exact search and only fingerprint record searches represent true identification to criminal history record information (CHRI), therefore the organization conducting the criminal history check is not allowed to discuss with me any CHRI obtained using the name and DOB method.

The agency may request that I also have a fingerprint search performed to clear any misidentification based on the result of the name and DOB search. In order to complete the fingerprint process I must make an appointment with the Fingerprint Applicant Services of Texas (FAST) as instructed online at www.txdps.state.tx.us /Crime Records/ Review of Personal Criminal History or by calling the DPS Program Vendor at 1-888-467-2080, submit a full and complete set of fingerprints, request a copy be sent to the agency listed below, and pay a fee of $25.00 to the fingerprinting services company.

Once this process is completed the information on my fingerprint criminal history record may be discussed with me.

DPS Computerized Criminal History (CCH) Verification I have read and understand the above statement:
