Benicia Unified School District encourages parents to get involved at their student’s school site. Board Policy 1240 states the qualifications and strategies for volunteers. For the safety of all students, we want to clarify BUSD’s protocol for parents and family members attending field trips/events. 

If you are not fingerprint-cleared through BUSD, you will not be able to attend field trips or school events. Please know, once you are fingerprinted and as long as you don’t leave our District, you do not have to be fingerprinted again; it is good until your child(ren) exit 12th grade. 

The Livescan Fingerprinting process can be completed at a number of local locations ( a link is provided below.) We understand that this can be a timely and expensive process so if you submit your receipt to PTG, we will be happy to reimburse you for the cost. Please note that the Livescan process can take up to eight weeks. Once completed, we at the school will be notified of your status and we will contact you.

 Additionally, please remember for safety and liability purposes, non-student siblings are not permitted to be in classrooms when their parent volunteers.
