Students may raise funds for school-sponsored events with the permission of the school board. The school board delegates to the superintendent that authority to approve routine student fundraising as deemed appropriate, example team apparel sales. Collection boxes for school fundraising must have prior approval from the principal or designee before being placed on school property.
All funds generated from district-sponsored student fundraising will be placed in the district’s student activity fund or booster account as specified by the sponsor. The Superintendent will develop necessary regulations to ensure the equity of student fundraising efforts.
All items and money generated from online fundraising are subject to the same controls and regulations as other district property and shall be deposited or inventoried accordingly. No money raised or items purchased shall be distributed to individual employees.
