Any person who volunteers in a school must complete a Laurens County School District 55 Volunteer Application and a Background Authorization Form.   All volunteers must receive training from the district volunteer specialist or a school volunteer coordinator prior to serving.  

The training will address bloodborne pathogens, sexual harassment, and procedures that volunteers are to follow in each school.  The application and the Background Authorization Form are available in each school office. 

The completed application may be returned to any school or mailed to:
