Volunteer Coach/Sponsor Program

The Board introduced a program whereby volunteers would have an opportunity to help the Junior High School by giving their time to extra-curicular activities. This program would ask for volunteers to perform jobs like, coach, scorekeeper, timekeeper, or other jobs normally performed by paid staff.

The jobs would be available only for those activities where a paid staff member is not required, and all volunteers would be subject to a criminal background check.

If the proposal is successful, it would significantly lower the fees students and their families would need to pay to participate in these activities, while allowing the School Board to keep the programs self-funding.

More information on the program is available here on the District 3 website.

Applications for positions are available here. They should be turned in to the District offices by August 6, 2004.
