Volunteering in FCPS

Make a difference! Get connected to different schools and learn ways to engage with Fayette County Public Schools.
Changing lives in FCPS starts here:

FCPS Community

Fayette County Public Schools invites families and other supporters to participate in our educational community! We need all kinds of volunteers to help make sure our students have an enriching experience in the classroom and beyond.

Background Checks

Background checks are needed every four years. If you aren't sure if yours is still valid, please ask Veronica Murrell in Human Resources at (859) 381-4345. If you need a background check:

Wait for the results. You can return to the background check link anytime to monitor the status. When the background check is complete, keep a copy for your records and contact the school to volunteer. (If your background check is not approved, you may submit an appeal.)

For questions, please call HR at (859) 381-4345.
