Board approves fundraiser list and new centralized concessions process
Loading...
Summary
After questions, the board approved a list of fundraisers including a streamlined concessions system managed by FBLA advisor Bridget Blake and a vendor; funds will be deposited to student accounts and the system provides a calendar and fallback groups for events.
The school board reviewed and approved item 2.5, a set of fundraiser requests and a new concessions process designed to simplify operations and return proceeds to student accounts.
A board member identified as Michael asked for clarification about who runs concessions and how scheduling works. Administrator Grace explained that Bridget Blake (FBLA) oversees concession stands, a vendor stocks and prices inventory, and groups sell at assigned events; money is turned in and deposited to the selling group’s account. The system includes a calendar and a backup list of approved groups that can step in if a scheduled group cannot staff a game.
Board members noted that the streamlined approach differs from past methods where individual groups shopped, set prices and handled inventory. After the explanation, the board moved to approve the fundraisers and voted unanimously.
Questions from board members included whether fundraisers covered both boys’ and girls’ teams and how post‑season games would be handled; staff said most winter events were covered with a few remaining dates. The board did not modify the fundraisers list before voting.
The approval means student groups will continue to raise activity funds while the district centralizes concessions logistics under FBLA oversight and the vendor arrangement.
