702.1R1 - Gate Receipts
702.1R1 - Gate ReceiptsGate receipts from any given school event have the potential to amount to a substantial sum of cash. In consideration of the board policy to limit cash in the building offices at the close of the school day, cash receipts should be removed and deposited on the same day of the event whenever possible.
In those instances when same-day deposits are impossible, gate receipts are to be locked in safe until the first business day when a deposit can be made. The board discourages the individual in charge of collection of the gate receipts from personally holding the receipts except in special circumstances approved by the superintendent.
The activities director shall be responsible for designating the individual who shall be in charge of collecting, counting and depositing the gate receipts. The superintendent shall provide administrative regulations to be followed by those chosen to handle the receipts.
