Penn Manor School District welcomes and encourages opportunities to engage volunteers. That being said, our number one priority for all students is a safe and supportive learning environment. Pennsylvania now requires all volunteers to obtain clearances. Chaperones for field trips must complete the process posted below, and we encourage our families to complete the process as soon as possible.
Clearances are free for school volunteers with the exception of the FBI Criminal Background. Posted below is information to learn more about the clearances required and how to get them.
