VOLUNTEER CLEARANCES<\/b><\/h1>\n

William Penn appreciates the willingness of volunteers to work with our students. Pennsylvania law requires all school volunteers who, through the course of their volunteer position, are responsible for the welfare of a child or have direct contact with children, are required to obtain and renew the following background checks.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

All volunteers must have their clearances before starting any volunteer activity and provide copies to the William Penn Elementary School main office or the Community School office. Copies of these can be dropped off at school or emailed to\u00a0amadea@basdschools.org<\/a><\/b><\/div>\n
