Overdale Families,

    Due to changes with KRS 160.380, any and ALL volunteers MUST have a Child Abuse/Neglect (CAN) background check through the Cabinet for Health and Family Services. This background check is in addition to the existing background checks that are currently required of volunteers. The cost of the CAN check is $10.00 at the expense of the volunteer. The CAN checks are currently on a month delay so it is extremely important that we get them turned in as soon as possible. Without this check, no volunteers will be able to monitor, supervise, or work with students.This is now a law.
