1314 Fundraising and Solicitation

Fund-raising shall be authorized under conditions that do not conflict with instructional programs. Fund-raising refers to the raising of non-appropriated funds for the educational benefit of students and their school funds.

Fund-raising shall be permitted by students attending middle and high school, provided such activities are approved in writing and carefully monitored and regulated by the school Principal or a designee. All students shall not conduct any sales campaign, project, or other process which requires, encourages, or otherwise promotes the utilization of students in door-to-door solicitation.

Each Principal shall develop and maintain a list of all approved fund-raising activities and report all activities to the Superintendent pursuant to procedures issued by the Superintendent.

The Superintendent will furnish the School Board with an up-to-date listing of all fund-raising activities being conducted by the school division.

Fundraising shall not be conducted by non-school agencies or for non-school activities among students except as provided by law and approved by the Board of Education.
