What this document actually says
Policy 3452: Student Activity Funds (Last revised September 13, 2022)
This policy governs how student organizations raise and spend money. Key requirements:
- Student groups must submit proposed fundraisers to the principal at the beginning of each school year for Superintendent approval
- Food/beverage sales must meet nutrition standards or occur off-campus/after school hours
- All expenditures require triple approval: a Board-designated employee, a teacher advisor, and a student representative
- The principal oversees all financial activities and submits budgets to the Superintendent
- Student funds must support educational experiences and general student welfare
- Athletic spending must provide equitable opportunities for males and females
- Student accounts over $5,000 require annual professional audits paid by the district
- The district maintains oversight to prevent fraud and ensure proper financial practices
What this means for your family
What this means for families: Your child's club or student organization fundraisers need advance approval to ensure they're educational and safe. Food sales must be nutritious or happen after school. Student funds are professionally managed with adult oversight to prevent misuse. Athletic spending must be fair to all genders. This protects your donations and ensures student activities are properly supervised and align with educational goals.
