Summary

The board agreed to require a standardized internal fundraising approval process to prevent overlapping or unapproved fundraisers and to refine student-valuables language, asking administration to implement consistent forms and enforcement procedures.

Trustees agreed to include a clear internal fundraising policy and a consistent approval form so administrators can prevent multiple, overlapping fundraisers and ensure proper oversight. One member described prior problems with inconsistent fundraising and asked that the district add or reference the appropriate policy in the handbook and present implementation steps when administration returns.

The board also discussed student valuables and recommended keeping the more detailed language from later in the packet and moving it to the front of the handbook so students and families see it; staff will ensure consistent wording and processes for valuables and fundraising approvals.
