Volunteer Background Check
We value all our volunteers and the work they do to help our schools! For the safety of all students, the school require potential volunteers who will provide assistance at any campus or school function to receive a background check by the Department of Public Safety (DPS), which is done through our online application.
Please remember to complete and submit a new application for every school year. Your application must be filled out at least 72 hours or more before volunteering or you will not be able to volunteer. To apply:
-
Obtain a valid photo Identification and make a digital copy
-
Read Application Tips, Name Guidelines and Accepted Forms of Identification
-
Complete the online application in either English or Spanish via the Raptor Visitor Management System. Be sure to upload a copy of a valid driver’s license or other government-issued identification (see tab, accepted forms of identification). This allows the application to be processed.
-
Complete a criminal background check. This check will only occur after the Charter has received a valid photo Identification, the application has been submitted and the volunteer's name has been entered into the Raptor Visitor Management System.
The volunteer applicant will receive two emails:
-
One upon successful submission of a Volunteer application via the Raptor Visitor Management System.
-
An email will be sent to the volunteer applicant within 72 hours notifying communicating the status of the application and criminal history search. If the second email is not received, call or email Maria Leon, Fingerprint Specialist at (469) 353-6147 or volunteer@iltexas.org.
If you did not apply to volunteer the year before or are a new volunteer, you must sign in at a campus and provide an official government photo Identification at the front office and have your picture taken. You may do this on the day you plan to volunteer.
