SECTION 03 – BUSINESS and AUXILIARY SERVICES

The board prefers to limit fundraising and seeks to provide all necessary items for technology center use. This practice safeguards standardization throughout the district’s programs, allows for appropriate oversight of activity funds, and ensures the technology center meets its obligations for equity in its programs.

Unless the superintendent or designee grants authorization, no employee may solicit donations for any purpose connected with the technology center. This prohibition includes, but is not limited to: raffles, any type of sale (bake sales, rummage sales, etc.), requests for donations, and/or the use of crowdfunding websites (GoFundMe.com, DonorsChoose.org, etc.).

Any employee who is granted authorization to engage in fundraising activities must adhere to all requirements established by the superintendent or designee. These requirements include but are not limited to identifying:

  • the group or activity benefitting from the funds
  • the individuals who will participate in the fundraiser, including the program involved
  • the type of fundraiser, including specific products or services to be sold, auctioned, etc.
  • the proposed dates for the fundraiser
  • the employee who will oversee the fundraiser
  • the estimated amount of revenue to be generated per unit and in total
  • the procedural safeguards to be utilized to ensure the security of all funds

The procedure for fund-raising activities is as follows:

  • A request must be submitted through the SuccessFund website. Fundraiser must be approved through SuccessFund by the instructional leader, then to the Executive Director of Instructional Development (see-approved fundraisers).
  • A Purchasing Requisition is filled out and approved by the executive director of instructional development if items are to be ordered. A copy will be attached to the request form.
  • Students shall be limited to no more than $75 retail value for their initial checkout, and that amount must be turned in before additional merchandise can be checked out. All additional checkout amounts shall not exceed the original amount.
  • Students shall receive a receipt for all money turned in.
