Most adults who volunteer with youth teams and clubs that use property owned by the township or the school district would be required to get a criminal background check under an ordinance introduced by the Township Council last week.
The ordinance calls for a background check for any adult involved with “sporting activities, passive recreation groups, clubs or camps, trips or other activities whereby some control and responsibility for children under the age of 18 is assigned to some person other than a parent or caregiver.”
