STUDENT FUNDRAISING

Some fundraisers may be conducted for specific purposes:  i.e. uniforms, trips, etc.  When such fundraisers are held, the designated purpose shall be adhered to unless circumstances should arise that the initial purpose cannot be met.

For aforementioned fundraisers, records will be maintained by the responsible faculty member to include individual student records when necessary, and affiliated company contracts, and/or related records.  Because fundraisers are monies under the auspices of school district activity funds, it is important that strict records are kept and copies of the records shared with the building principal.

Money that is earned by a student for a specific cause cannot be spent on other items.  Nor, can students pass on their earnings to siblings or other students.  If a student fails to raise the required amount for the designated purpose, responsibility for payment falls to the legal guardian.  A ceiling will be set as to how much a student may earn through fundraising and application toward the individual’s function.  Money earned beyond that limit shall be placed in the appropriate activity fund.

If a situation should arise that there are too few students meeting the fundraising requirements to meet the purpose of the fundraiser, an alternative plan shall be presented to the administration and communicated to all concerned, including the Board and parents, that allows qualified students to participate in an alternative activity.  The balance of unspent funds shall be placed in the appropriate activity fund.
