Procedure 3530P

STUDENTS

Student Fund-Raising ActivitiesGuidelines for student fund raising activities are as follows:
A. Student participation must be voluntary.
B. The fund raising activity must be such that it is not likely to create a poor public relations image.
C. Fund raising activity efforts must not interfere with the educational program.
D. Fund raising activities conducted by associated student bodies or sub-groups thereof must conform to the district ASB accounting requirements. Expenditures of all ASB funds must be approved by the ASB.
E. Fund raising activities conducted by outside groups (including parent groups) must not involve the official student body organizations and must not utilize district materials, supplies, facilities or staff unless reimbursement is made.
F. Sponsorship of fund raising activities by schools' official parent groups, even where moneys realized shall be donated to associated student bodies, is encouraged to minimize accounting difficulties. If fund raising activities are co-sponsored by a student body organization and a parent group, an arrangement for the proportional sharing of expenses and profits or losses should be made prior to initiation of fund raising.
G. The following types of fund raising activities are approved:
      1. Sales of goods, including but not limited to, candy, T-shirts, books, school supplies, magazine subscriptions, fruit or other food items (if stored and maintained appropriately), rummage or garage sales, etc;
     2.  Fee for service activities that do not interfere with the school day, including but not limited to, car washes, recycling drives (such as paper and bottles), yard work, dinners or breakfasts, etc., provided adequate supervision is present;
     3. Carnivals when organized and supervised by the school and/or the recognized parent group;
     4.  Skating and bowling parties provided there is adequate supervision and liability protection;
     5.  Bandathons, bikeathons, and walkathons;
     6. Basketball games or other organized sports activities if liability insurance for participants and facilities is included in the contract, and;
     7. Talent, variety, musical, and drama productions (after school hours).

Any major purpose fund-raising activity of a type not listed above must have the approval of the superintendent or designee.

H.    When the ASB shares in the receipts derived from vending machine operations or from the sale of student pictures, such activities must be in compliance with policy.
