What this document actually says
Last Updated: September 13, 2022
This policy governs how Reed Union School District accepts donations, grants, and gifts from individuals and organizations. The Board may accept money, property, or services that support education, but will reject donations that could compromise decision-making authority or educational equity. Before accepting gifts, the Board reviews any conditions to ensure consistency with district values and sustainability. The district will not accept donations that promote violence, drugs, tobacco, alcohol, or non-nutritious foods during school hours, or that excessively commercialize schools. All donations become district property. Donors are encouraged to give to the district generally rather than specific schools or teachers. The policy also covers corporate sponsorships (which must be approved in writing) and online fundraising campaigns (which require prior Superintendent approval). The Superintendent reports annually on all gifts received.
What this means for your family
This policy ensures donations to schools support all students equitably and align with educational values. When families or organizations donate money, books, or resources, these become district property and may be used across schools at the district's discretion. The policy protects students from commercial advertising and inappropriate content, and ensures fundraising campaigns (including online crowdfunding) require district approval and maintain transparency about how funds are used.
