Spring Murray Independent School District Volunteer Training Dates

All volunteers are required to complete yearly confidentiality trainings and submit a new volunteer form.

Each volunteer is required to become approved. This mandates a state-background check.

There is a suggested $10 donation fee to perform the background check,. Once the background check is received and approved the background check remains on file five years until another check is required. Remember all volunteers must be approved to attend field trips.

To ensure elgibility in year-end activities for volunteers, these two in-person volunteer trainings have been scheduled.
Please mark these dates on your calendar to attend a training for 2026 year.
(The online training is still available. For information on the online email sherry.purdom@murray.kyschools.us).
