It is a PA State Law that all adult volunteers (age 18+) in a school setting must obtain their clearances, and must renew, at least, every 5 years.
If your clearances are not on file, you WILL NOT be able to volunteer for school activities including, but not limited to class parties, field trips, book fairs, library and other special events.
PTA cannot view your clearances in Raptor - we provide the school administrators a list of all volunteers for each event, and they will alert us if anyone volunteering is not cleared or missing the information within Raptor.
