Azle ISD may obtain information about you for purposes of evaluating your application for a volunteer position from a consumer reporting agency, JD Palatine, 301 Grant Street, Suite 3400, Pittsburg, PA 15219 (877) 745-8525 ext. 1, by Azle ISD, or another outside agency. This procedure is established in order to create guidelines for checking criminal histories on volunteers that work on district campuses.
Texas Education Code 22.083 states that the District may obtain criminal history record information that relates to a person the District intends to employ, a person that contracts with the district or a person who has indicated, in writing, an intention to serve as a volunteer with the District. Azle ISD policies GKG (Legal) and GKG (Local) establish a volunteer program and define a volunteer as "a person rendering services for or on behalf of the District on District premises or at a school-sponsored or school-related activity on or off school property who does not receive compensation in excess of reimbursement for expenses."
By providing your signature, you are agreeing to abide by the rules and regulations of the Azle ISD's Volunteer Program. One or more of the volunteer activities you have selected may require you to provide your United States social security number so we can perform a criminal background check. Your social security number will only be used for this purpose, and we do not retain this information.
