Towson Rec Families,

It is with sadness that I share with you the news of Dr. James Fragetta's death. Dr. Fragetta died on Sunday, January 6, 2019 surrounded by his loving family. Jim and his wife Karen have volunteered countless hours to Towson Recreational sports and Jim will be greatly missed. Dr. Fragetta worked tirelessly and with an open and giving heart in order to make the world a better place; his contributions to youth athletics through Towson Rec and athletics at Towson High School are invaluable.  

Memorial donations may be made to the Claire Marie Foundation at clairemariefoundation.org or to 9 Spring Knoll Ct., Lutherville, MD 21093. Please send stories, pictures and remembrances of Jim that you want to share to FragettaMemories@gmail.com. They will be collected, turned into a book, and shared with the family.

Sincerely,

Janine Schofield

President, Towson Recreation Council

Dear Towson Rec Council,

Baltimore County has instituted a Volunteer Background Check Program.

Volunteers must complete this process prior to each program season.

PURPOSE:  Baltimore County Government is invested in increasing the safety of participants and families while they are participating in Recreation and Parks activities and programs. This commitment is extending our efforts to include conducting background investigations for all volunteers who participate in Recreation/Nature Council, Therapeutic, PAL, and other County-sponsored recreation programs.

The background investigation will be conducted by a nationally recognized security screening firm, the Southeastern Security Consultants, Inc (SSCI). This screening is a review of each applicant’s criminal history. The results of the screening will determine each volunteer’s eligibility to volunteer in our programs. To protect the privacy of all volunteers in the program, Baltimore County staff will not have access to any information regarding this background screening. SSCI will only provide a list of passed applicants to Recreation and Parks staff.

This program is a preventive measure. It is not meant to take the place of parental involvement and participation. It is meant to work in partnership with parental efforts to ensure that their children and all constituents enjoy programs and activities in a safe environment.

WHO must complete the background investigation:  Board of Recreation and Parks Members, Recreation/Nature Council Board Members, Recreation/Nature Council Chairpersons, Head and Assistant Coaches, Instructors and Assistant Instructors, Volunteers who have care, custody or control of children

Volunteers who have access to confidential information (example: registration forms, financial

Public computer labs are located at the Randallstown Community Center, Sollers Point Multi-Purpose Center, Dundalk Community Centers, and all Baltimore County Public Libraries.

If a report comes back with information preventing you from volunteering, SSCI will contact you directly to report the findings and/or request additional information by email or mail.

If you are approved for participation your name will be listed on the County’s website at: BaltimoreCountyMD.gov/RecreationVolunteers

Volunteers must complete this process prior to each program season.

There is no cost to applicants.
