The following information describes the procedures for reactivation for continuing volunteers, the process for new volunteers to obtain clearance, and a summary of the appeal procedures. Reactivation for Continuing Volunteers • All continuing volunteers approved for the 2012-2013 school year MUST reactivate as a volunteer no later than 4:00 p.m. on October 31, 2013.
