doing tutoring during the school day. Before I could work in the public school, I had to be fingerprinted and a background check done. Yes, I had to pay $70 for this.

During season, snowbird would volunteer to come in to the Pre-K classes (in another room) and read to the little kids. In the past, they were not required to pass a background check. There was a problem in one of the schools where a volunteer molested the kids. After that happened, the district started requiring the fingerprinting for all volunteers. Until they got this, a school staff member, who was fingerprinted, had to be with the volunteers at all times.
