These funds will be held in trust in one or more separate accounts within the District ASB fund and will be disbursed for the purpose determined by the student group(s) conducting the fundraiser.
The District shall withhold an amount (or otherwise be compensated) for the direct costs of its services when appropriate.
Prior to participation in the fundraisers, supporters and prospective customers must be notified of the intended use of the proceeds and informed that the proceeds are not ASB funds, but will be held in trust by the District exclusively for the specified purpose(s).
