STUDENT FUND-RAISING ACTIVITIES

In general, the board does not approve of fund-raising in the community by students for school activities. The board also recognizes that classes and clubs may wish to raise money through fund-raising drives. Fund-raising events shall be reviewed and approved by the superintendent. In questionable areas, the superintendent shall refer the request to the board.

Examples of acceptable fund-raising activities:

A. Class magazine drive;

B. Sale of tickets to scheduled athletic events and school dramatic and musical performances;

C. Sale of advertising space in school publications;

D. A fund-raising activity, approved by high school building administrator, and designed as a senior project; and

E. Proposals to raise funds for charitable purposes or of benefit to the school or community. Examples might be American Field Service activities, United Nations, or scholarship funds. In any case, such proposals must be individually approved by the building administrator and superintendent.
