Bill Summary
Authorizing each county board of education to use a chaplain as a volunteer aide in schools to provide support services to students.
AI Summary
This bill amends existing Maryland law to allow county boards of education to utilize chaplains as volunteer aides in schools, specifically to offer support services to students. The bill clarifies that these volunteer aides, including chaplains, are meant to assist regular school staff and not replace them, and that each county superintendent will be responsible for creating guidelines for their use. Furthermore, volunteer aides are considered agents of the county board for the purposes of receiving comprehensive liability insurance and workers' compensation coverage.
