Fundraising

STUDENT FUNDRAISING  

East Penn School District Board Policy 229 addresses fundraising in schools.

It defines fundraising as "solicitation and collection of money by students in exchange for goods and services" and states the following:

The Board acknowledges that solicitation of funds from students must be limited because compulsory attendance laws make the student a captive donor and such solicitation may disrupt the educational program of the schools.

The Board prohibits the collection of money by a student for personal benefit in school buildings, on school property or at any school-sponsored activity.

District students are not obligated to conduct door-to-door sales for fundraising activities.

Fundraising activities within the schools by students or approved school organizations shall be permitted only upon written application to, and prior approval of, the building principal. In the case of multiple school involvement, mutual agreement of the building principals shall be required prior to approval.

Any student interested in conducting fundraising activities at Emmaus High School in compliance with this policy should visit the Athletic and Activities Office to receive the proper forms.

SALES PROMOTIONS

All sales promotions must have the approval of the Principal. Any student or organization interested in conducting a sales promotion at Emmaus High School in compliance with this policy should visit the Athletic and Activities Office to receive the proper forms. A fundraising report must be filed at least two weeks before the beginning of any sale. This includes sales both in and outside of school. An accounting of sales must be filed with the Athletic and Activities Office at the termination of the event.
