Students may raise funds for school-sponsored events by having the coach/sponsor fill out the appropriate fundraising request for permission. This request must be approved by the Building Principal, and then submitted to the Activities Director for final approval. If the fund raiser is projected to raise more than $3,500.00, prior approval from the Board of Education will be required. If this policy is not followed as written, the disciplinary steps will be:
1st Offense – Letter of reprimand to be placed in personnel file signed by Activities Director and Staff Member
2nd Offense – One half of money raised will be placed in general activity fund
3rd Offense – All money raised will be placed in general activity fund
It shall be the responsibility of the superintendent, in conjunction with the Activities Director, to develop administrative regulations regarding this policy.
