The Greenwich Board of Education unanimously approved a resolution allowing an external 501(c)(3) to fundraise for Greenwich High School aquatics, tennis and related access improvements and asked for a subsequent memorandum of understanding to clarify roles and logo use.
The Greenwich Board of Education voted unanimously (8–0) to approve a resolution authorizing outside fundraising for Greenwich High School aquatics, tennis and related access requirements. The resolution broadens the language from “pool” to “aquatics” and tennis to allow multiple fundraising groups to participate.
Board members said the resolution signals support for community fundraising while reserving the right to document details after a 501(c)(3) is formed. One board member asked for a future memorandum of understanding to address logo use, responsibilities and coordination between the external group and the district. The motion passed without dissent.
What this means: The resolution clears the way for a community fundraising group to solicit donations for a comprehensive athletics and aquatics project at Greenwich High School; the board and the yet-to-be-created nonprofit will negotiate operating details later.
