While the schools are being more careful about access to students and classrooms, they could use more volunteers. That is the point behind the Bulloch County Schools new volunteer protocol, explained as part of Thursday nights Speak Up for Education event. Dr. Deborah Mangum, executive director of the school systems Office of Student Support, led in developing the protocol, which was presented to the Board of Education in November and put into effect by administrators in January. The protocol, a set of rules and guidelines, recognizes three levels of school volunteers: Level 1, the Visitor Volunteer; Level 2, the Committed Volunteer; and Level 3, the Dedicated Volunteer.
