Allen ISD Volunteer Background Check
Below is a link to the Allen ISD web page where you can find information about registering to be an Allen ISD Volunteer. This is required by the school district if you are planning to be a "Parent Volunteer" or a "Coach" on the team. It takes a village to run this team, so it is highly recommended you complete this process.
