Do you want to get involved in OCSU by volunteering in the schools? Do you want to go on your child's field trip? Have you ever thought about substituting within OCSU? Have you found it difficult to get the process started? The Orleans County Sheriff's Dept (OCSD) and OCSU will be offering completion of the entire background check process as a one-stop shop to families and staff within OCSU. This will be held on 9/20/23 from 3:00pm - 6:00pm at COFEC - 130 Kinsey Road, Barton, VT 05822. Anyone who is interested in volunteering with us or becoming a substitute can attend. Those teachers who need BG checks for licensing can attend as well. If someone wants to volunteer in OCSU and is employed at another SU, they can come by and complete a secondary dissemination request with me if they have completed a BG check in the last three years. There will be no payment for the secondary dissemination request. ***Please note that if paying by check, you may need two checks, one for OCSU and one for OCSD.
