Volunteer Information
Chaperone and Volunteer Background (ICHAT) Request
The Board encourages the use of volunteers to support the School District. Because the safety of the School District´s students is of paramount importance, every individual volunteer is required to undergo a criminal background check through the Michigan State Police Internet Criminal History Access Tool (ICHAT) before they are permitted to volunteer, regardless of whether or not the volunteer will work directly with students. ICHAT criminal background checks will be performed annually for each volunteer.
When the background check is complete, a list of approved chaperones and volunteers will be shared with our school secretaries / principals / assistant principals on a "need to know" basis. The ICHATS will be kept on file for the current school year.
Parents may elect not to be screened. Please note that if you are not screened you will not be able to chaperone or drive any children other than your own on field trips.
Depending on the volume of ICHAT requests, it may take up to 10 days to screen the requests.
If you have any questions, please contact Human Resource at 734-419-2025.
Thank you for your continued support of our children here at Wayne-Westland Community Schools.
