Board approves district fundraising plan for 2024–25 to restore oversight and transparency
Summary
The board approved a package of fundraisers for the 2024–25 school year to align with board policy 07:4.6 and to improve oversight of vendors and projected profit percentages.
Administration presented a list of approximately 10 fundraisers for the 2024–25 school year and asked the board to approve them as a batch, noting board policy 07:4.6 requires board approval of fundraising activities.
The superintendent said the district requested employees to submit planned fundraisers for the year so the board could approve them in one motion; the packet included the vendor, percent profit estimates and the purpose for each fundraiser (class sponsorships, activity support, etc.).
Trustees discussed restoring consistent oversight (one trustee described the prior practice as a "wild, wild west") and approved the group of fundraisers. Administration said any additional fundraisers that arise during the year will be brought back to the board for approval.
The board recorded affirmative roll-call votes to approve the fundraising packet.
