Superintendent reports on annual student fundraising process and e-commerce option
Summary
Superintendent Battle presented the district’s annual fundraising report as required by Policy 511, describing the approval process for school fundraisers, the move toward e-commerce links to reduce cash handling, and the district’s role in coordinating fundraisers.
Superintendent Doctor Battle presented the annual student fundraising report required under district Policy 5.11, summarizing fundraising activity during May 1, 2024–May 31, 2025 and the district’s approval and processing procedures.
The report compiles activity type, timing, purpose and results for school fundraisers and reiterates that building administrators must approve fundraisers in advance and forward completed request forms to the assistant superintendent for review. Doctor Battle noted the district offers an e-commerce link, created by the assistant to the assistant superintendent, that allows credit-card contributions to go directly to designated fundraiser account codes. The district encourages electronic payment to reduce handling of cash and checks in school buildings.
Why it matters: Annual reporting keeps the board informed of fundraising scope and ensures fundraisers follow policy and accounting controls.
The superintendent thanked the finance department for providing the e-commerce capability and closed by saying the report was complete. No board action was requested beyond receipt of the report.
