OUSD Volunteer Clearance Process

Requirements for classroom volunteers are set by the OUSD Board of Directors and clearance is processed by the Oakland Public Education Fund. Learn more by reading their Clearance Requirements document.  Start by signing up to volunteer through the Oakland Ed Fund. The PPTG hosts a livescan technician at one of our Garden Days to make it easier for parents to complete the process. Look out for a Konstella message to sign up for an appointment.

Scroll down to below the graphic for instructions for Field Trip Drivers. 

For all parent and community volunteers:

Additionally, for field-trip drivers ONLY:

Turn these documents in to Peralta:

1. Declaration of Driver Form

2. Proof of Sufficient Insurance (photocopy/printout of your insurance coverage)

3. Valid ID (photocopy of your drivers' license)

These above documents usually are requested directly by your child's teacher, from only those who are driving. You can fill them out and turn them in back to the teacher, or to the office.

Thank you so much for helping to support all of our kids and teachers in the classrooms!
