LEVEL II CLEARANCE is required for volunteers interacting with students in an unsupervised environment, such as:

• Field Trip Chaperones

• Volunteer Coaches

• Drivers

• Summer Camp Volunteers

• Tutoring

Effective April 7, 2025, the Florida Department of Children and Families (DCF) Clearinghouse is now responsible for conducting all background checks. As part of this change, all staff and volunteers must be fingerprinted through the Clearinghouse system, regardless of prior screenings. The fee for fingerprint screening is to be paid by the volunteer.
