Local Fund Raising Activities
The purpose of fundraising activities is to provide additional financial support to the academic, cocurricular
and extra-curricular programs available to students on campus.
Campuses may conduct fund raising activities throughout the school year. Consideration must be
given for minimum disruption of instructional time during the school day.
At the high school and middle school levels, each student program/organization may conduct three
fund raising activities each school year.
Raffles, lotteries and other games of chance are prohibited by State Law, and shall not be conducted
on school property or by school organizations.
Organizations identified as a non-profit with a 501(c) status are not permitted to conduct raffles,
lotteries and other games of chance on district property.
All fund raising activities must be approved and scheduled through the building principal with
specific goals for the activity stated in the proposal. The principal will schedule fund raising
activities based on three general criteria:
length of time required for the fund raising activity
number of fund raising activities scheduled for any given time period
number of fund raising activities scheduled for any one program or organization
Students who participate in fund raising will be held accountable for those items which they
volunteer to sell or the money which will be generated by the sale of those items.
Parents must consent for their child to fund raise by signing the appropriate form and understand that
they are held accountable and responsible for fund raising items and monies.
Students will not be allowed to conduct fund raising activities door-to-door or on the street.
Social Events
All social events of clubs, classes and organizations must be approved by the principal and be on the
official school calendar. All such events are not to take place during the regular school day. The
school sponsor or sponsors must be present at all school functions of any school organization and see
that everything is carried on in an orderly manner. For large events security patrols are to be
employed by the school. Every large social activity should be attended by the principal or one of
his/her assistants throughout the entire event. This includes proms at the high school level.
When such functions are held at the school, all decorations are to be removed and furniture replaced
before sponsors leave. Extra custodial charges must be paid by sponsoring organization.
