Hi Tommy,
Here is the district's policy
on volunteer hours and why they track them.
"Volunteer hours are part of
the summative data for a school. This data becomes
part of the overall evaluation for a school.
Program evaluation is the process of systematically
determining the quality of a school program and how
the program can be improved. When the
number of volunteer hours and areas of volunteer
work are known, the school can determine its needs
and set priorities. The volunteers, their talents,
and the amount of time given can influence program
approaches, materials and equipment, schedules, and
other structuring choices in order to build a
program that has a high likelihood of student
success."
Volunteer time is any time
contributed toward the school's programs. Such as:
Committee Meetings and
preparation
All volunteer activities and
(work completed at home)
Pro-Grad
Chaperoning (In-town and out
of town)
Booster Club activities
Fundraisers
Working merchandise, ticketing
and concessions
Newsletters
Record keeping
Take home work for parents
(e.g., phone calls, paper work, etc.)
I look forward to attending
the Band Booster meeting on Monday Oct. 23rd.
Please feel free to contact me if you have any
questions.
