Commitment to Confidentiality
Yukon Public Schools will require a criminal background check on all persons participating in volunteer activities with our district. This includes, but is not limited to, YPS Helping Hand Volunteers, Mentors, Vision & Hearing, Homeroom Parents, Field Trip Chaperones, Parent/Teacher Organizations, and Booster Clubs. While background check information is public information, Yukon Public Schools will maintain strict confidentiality of the information collected as a result of the background check process. Information will be shared only with those who have a need to know. In the event a third party must be used to complete the background check, Yukon Public Schools will comply with the Fair Credit Reporting Act.
