Level 3 Volunteers
What is a Level 3 Volunteer?
Level 3 Volunteers complete a brief training, go through a background check, and receive an official badge through the Dekalb County School District (DCSD) Department of Safety Office.
Why does the County have a Level 3 Volunteer process?
It was created by our Board of Education to better ensure student safety in situations where a school staff member is not present.
Do I have to be a Level 3 volunteer to help out at our school?
Most volunteering at our school does NOT require Level 3.
You will need to become a Level 3 volunteer for these roles:
What if I already went through the Level 3 process?
Your training and background check are good for three years. You do have to renew your badge each year. Please read below for how to renew!
