District should make
volunteering easier
Today I received another message asking for classroom volunteers in my mailbox. As a retiree with early childhood education experience and as the grandmother of a kindergartner, I am a perfect match.
There is one huge roadblock: getting clearance from the San Jose Unified School District. I have been seeking clearance since last September. I certainly understand the care taken to make sure children are safe. I do not understand a process that after six months, and two trips from Gilroy to San Jose, does not result in a clearance.
