Current Volunteer:

It is your responsibility to renew and submit your clearance requirements every 5 years under the new law. Even though, a new PDE 6004 Form is not required. You are still required to notify the district if you have been arrested or are arrested for a violation of the Child Protective Services Law or a felony offense under Pennsylvania's Controlled Substance, Drug, Device, and Cosmetic Act within the preceding 5 years.

If you are already a board approved volunteer and your clearances are more than 1 year old expired, you will need to complete all the steps as if you are a new volunteer.  If you are just renewing your clearances after the 5 years, follow the clearance information to the left. 

If you already have an Act 114-FBI Fingerprint Clearance on file, you will submit an affidavit stating that you have been a continuous resident of Pennsylvania for the past 10 years and have not been disqualified for volunteer service due to a conviction for any crime listed in the Child Protective Services Law.  PA Residency Affidavit
