Does the Lunsford Act apply to SAC members, chaperones, and school volunteers who serve as mentors?
No, since the Lunsford Act does not apply to volunteers, the background check requirement would not apply to such person, unless they had contracted with the district for some other reason unrelated to their duties as a volunteer. However, districts are required to search volunteers against the sexual offender/predator database.
