Lack of Confidentiality

To respond to Mrs. Kallas's blog, the volunteer application on the BISD website does not give enough information to future volunteers. Confidentiality is not stressed enough through the application. Volunteers need to know what they can and cannot do or say. Volunteers should not be able to talk about confidential information to others just because they are not part of staff. They still deal with students every day and should not have the right to talk about other students.

Just because a volunteer is not a teacher should not give them the right to talk about a child to someone that has no logical reason for  knowing. What is going on in a students life or is not something every body in the world needs to know.

If volunteers go against the volunteer policy, we need to make sure the rules are enforced and in effect. If volunteers go against the policy they should not be able to work with the students. Make the volunteer do something that is not around many students such as organizing or planning everything. Volunteers need to realize that a students life should not be a topic of conversation.
