In
February, 1975, The Board of Education
unanimously approved the development of an
organized school volunteer program and a pilot
program was launched at Cherry Elementary with 31
volunteers. Since that time, thousands of
volunteers have provided the district with
hundreds of thousands of volunteer service hours.
The
continued success of the CARES program requires
the enthusiastic support of the school
administration and faculty and a reliable
volunteer organization. Each school determines
what its needs are. Then in consultation with the
volunteer coordinators determine the kinds of
services to be provided to meet those needs. No
program is initiated unless the principal
approves and volunteers are assigned only to
teachers who ask for them.
