Volunteers for Our District
Thank you for offering your services, skills, and expertise to Brodhead School District.
We recognize that our volunteers are a very important contribution to our overall educational program. We have developed this handbook in an effort to familiarize you with the current policies and procedures of our District.
The School Board recognizes that citizens can provide valuable contributions to the District’s program of service. The Board encourages the use of volunteers in and out of the classroom, citizens’ participation on committees, and as resource persons, as well as various citizen organizations that promote and enhance the quality of education in our schools.
