  2. Submit Pennsylvania Child Abuse History Clearance (Act 151 or Public Welfare). Click on the formCheck that you are a volunteer. The clearance will be sent to you and you can submit it to the school record.
  3. FBI Federal Criminal History Records (Act 114) Register and schedule an appointment (1KG6Q9- code needed when registering) . When you apply, please mark “Volunteer.” Then you will need to be fingerprinted (usually the LIU in New Oxford).

The affidavit can be obtained from the school office.
