Bag Check Policy: What is a Bag Check, and where is it located? Who has to check their bags?
List of Policies - Policy Development

Policy

Bag Check is defined as a location where bags should be secured in a reasonable manner. The Bag Check shall be located in a generally understood location.

Volunteers and visitors are required to leave their bags (including purses and small gizmo bags) at the bag check.

Volunteers who consistently need to bring their bag to their shift area may receive a bag pass - once approved by the staff collective. The bag pass idea/policy was discussed and approved at the staff collective meeting on May 14, 2010.

Notes

How it works

Bags are checked when a volunteer comes to the front desk to check in for their shift.

1. volunteer hands the front desk personnel their bag.
2. front desk personnel hands volunteer a playing card that matches the number and suit on the shelf where the volunteer's bag is.
3. volunteer comes to log their hours and collect their bag after a shift.
4. they give the front desk personnel their playing card in exchange for their safely guarded bag.

Obtaining a Bag Pass

1. A volunteer must have a need to consistently bring a bag in the back while they are volunteering (personal tools and teaching supplies are some good examples)
2. The volunteer must ask the area coordinator
3. The area coordinator forwards to staff collective for approval

The passes will have the following information:

• volunteer's name and volunteer ID number
• the AREA (reason for the bag pass)
• expiration date
