Finance committee recognizes North Penn Cheer Association under Small Games of Chance rules
Summary
The committee recommended recognition of the North Penn Cheer Association as an organization eligible to hold Small Games of Chance, a step the district has used to recognize booster groups that benefit schools and that are treated as component units for accounting.
The finance committee recommended approval of a resolution recognizing the North Penn Cheer Association as an organization eligible to apply for Small Games of Chance permits through the county.
A board member asked why action was necessary for what the booster club does independently; a staff speaker explained that the district’s business office interprets the Small Games of Chance Act such that organizations whose activities benefit the school district are recognized by the district for accounting and oversight purposes and are treated as component units. "They're ... a component unit of the school district. I mean, they're they are only in existence because of you," a staff member said.
Board members expressed appreciation for booster support and moved the item forward. The committee voted to advance the resolution for placement on the next meeting’s agenda.
Formal action: Committee moved the recognition resolution forward; vote was recorded in committee minutes.
