The Murray Independent School District invites parents of students, and community friends to join the Murray Independent School District Volunteer program, one of the most successful in Kentucky, averaging 23,000 to 30,000 volunteer hours each year. During the 2024-2025 year, 509 volunteers attended the numerous volunteer trainings offered to become approved certified volunteers. This past year volunteers logged 31,600 hours. A breakdown includes Murray Elementary School (5,000), Murray Middle School (2,500), Murray Preschool-Head Start (1,950), Murray High School (650), MISD Athletics (4,000), MHS and MMS Band (13,000), Academic Clubs (2,000), and Booster Club (2,500).
To volunteer in any capacity, including chaperoning a field trip, all MISD volunteers must meet all approved requirements before they are allowed to volunteer. All MISD volunteers are required to attend yearly volunteer trainings and have a current approved state background check on file. (While background checks are good for five years, there is a suggested $10 fee for new and updated background checks).
New volunteers, who have never volunteered with the MISD a $10 fee is required to complete your background check at the state. Once the $10 is paid—the background check is current for five years. However, yearly training is required.
(If a former employee of the MISD and a six-month lapse has occurred since your employment, a new background check will be required.) The trainings last approximately 30 minutes, and there is no registration required to attend.
Please refer to the included graphics for Volunteer training dates and times. Remember No Registration is required
