Volunteers in schools need background checks these days, even for something like Head Start. In my opinion, anyone volunteering in a situation where there are children present should need a check to make sure they are not predators.

I live in California and yes it is a requirement. At least in the school districts I have volunteered in or had my children in. Don't know that it is always well enforced, though.

I think it would be a very good idea. It protects our children more while they are away from home. If someone dosent like it maybe they have something to hide.( i am talking about the workers working around children)

I certainly hope so, I live in New York and carry a security clearance license, so have never run into a check anywhere, I think it's a good law.

My wife is in HR. They require background checks for all employees and volunteers. There have been so many lawsuits, businesses have to protect themselves.

I thought it was required by Federal law. Even if it is not, I would not do business with any contractor that didn't do the checks anyway.

I'm not sure, but I guess it would be beneficial, especially in places where children are present at most. You never know if one of those people are pedophiles, murderers, etc.

yes on working with children, and it's pretty strict. I don't know about the other. I think it's good....

it SHOULD be a law because sexual pedators could get construction jobs by schools.
