Volunteer Agreement

Assumption of Risk and Release

I understand that participation in volunteer activities may involve ordinary risks associated with the activities I perform.

To the extent permitted by law, I voluntarily assume the risks associated with my participation as a volunteer and release Elizabeth School District, its Board of Education, employees, officials, and representatives from claims for personal injury or property damage arising from my volunteer activities, except to the extent otherwise provided by law.

I understand that my status as a volunteer does not provide me with the compensation, insurance, workers' compensation, or other benefits available to District employees.

Criminal Background Check Authorization

Elizabeth School District is committed to maintaining a safe environment for students and staff. All volunteers are required to successfully complete a criminal background check through the Colorado Bureau of Investigation (CBI) before they are approved to volunteer with the District.

I authorize Elizabeth School District to obtain and review my criminal history information through CBI for the purpose of determining my eligibility to volunteer.

I understand that completion of a background check does not guarantee approval to volunteer. The District will review information obtained through the background check as part of determining my eligibility and suitability for volunteer service.
