A friendly reminder - in order to volunteer in the classroom, you must have current volunteer clearances through CBSD. The process is EASY and all done online using the Volunteer Tracker App to track volunteer clearances. Every CB volunteer will need to register, and upload their clearances.

Pennsylvania law requires all persons having direct contact with school children obtain background checks and clearances. Click here for the required clearances, along with links to the state’s websites, which may be found on the CBSD website.

**Please note: Butler will follow the Health and Safety plan of the District. At this time, volunteers are limited for specific activities. All volunteer opportunities are subject to change based on District guidelines. You MUST have current clearances in order to volunteer. Click here for volunteer clearance information.
