504.5 - Student Fund Raising

Students may raise funds for school-sponsored events with the permission of the school board.  The school board delegates to the Superintendent the authority to approve routine student fundraising as deemed appropriate.  Collection boxes for school fundraising must have prior approval from the school board or its 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. 

It is the responsibility of the superintendent, in conjunction with the principal, to develop administrative regulations regarding this policy.

NOTE:  This is a recommended policy, but the board has the discretion to write it to reflect the board's practice.
