Trustees tighten student‑fundraising policy after parent concerns about equity and oversight
Summary
After a parent raised concerns about coaching/employee control and distribution of fundraiser proceeds, trustees approved FJ local (student fundraising) and signaled plans for a regulation to clarify lines between booster and district fundraisers.
The board considered and unanimously approved adoption of policy FJ local on second reading. The policy revision was presented by Deputy Superintendent Solinda Freeman and discussed in the context of public comment from parent Jionte Radliff, who urged clearer language around "employee control" of fundraisers and stronger documentation that funds raised benefit the students who raised them.
President Tyra and other trustees said Radliff's concerns had been discussed in the policy subcommittee and that a regulation clarifying fundraising processes and the line between booster and district fundraising is being drafted. "When those lines blur, there is a potential conflict of who owns that money," Tyra said, and trustees agreed the committee will post a regulation supplement to accompany the updated policy.
