School volunteers don't have to pay for background checks

School volunteers don't have to pay for background checks : School-City : Albuquerque Tribune: "School volunteers don't have to pay for their background checks under a memorandum of agreement between the city and the school district.

The city has budgeted $100,000 to cover the $34 background check, including fingerprinting. About 2,000 volunteers in Albuquerque Public Schools last year had to pay for their own background checks, although some volunteer programs, including Albuquerque Reads, picked up the tab.

Background checks are required of all volunteers who have unsupervised contact with a child."
