Does the Lunsford Act apply to individuals such as sports officials, musical event judges/conductors, charter bus drivers, or supplemental service providers?
Yes, if the individual (or the association for whom the individual acts as an agent) is contracted with the district to provide services, they must undergo a background screening. If there is no contract with the district and the individual is instead serving in a volunteer capacity, the individual is not required to undergo background screening, but must have his/her name searched against the sexual offender/predator database.
