7. This process takes about two weeks.
At Buck Lake Elementary volunteers play a huge role in the success of the school, teachers, and most importantly the students. In order to volunteer in any capacity within Leon County Schools, individuals are required to complete the electronic volunteer application and go through the proper background screening.
This process takes about two weeks.
Please note, you cannot help in any capacity at the school without this clearance. This includes volunteering in the classroom, attending school activities, and participating/chaperoning field trips.
