School Volunteer

The success of the Brentwood School District depends in large part upon the willing involvement of parents and community members. As indicated in Board Policy IICC :

The Brentwood Board of Education encourages parents/guardians and other members of the community to share their time, knowledge and abilities with our students. Community volunteers in our schools and activities enrich the total education program and strengthen our schools’ relationships with homes, businesses, public agencies and private institutions. The presence of volunteers in the classroom, on school grounds, and at extracurricular activities also enhances supervision of students and contributes to school safety.

Volunteer coaches or advisors work directly with students on activities and techniques. A volunteer sports coach or advisor may be asked to assume the responsibilities of a paid coach or advisor in an emergency.
