Through this course, participants will become familiar with funds held at the school which originate from Non-Appropriated sources - Student Activity Fund. These funds are accounted for in the Student Activity Fund (SAF) accounting system, and not in FMS. The funds originate from donations made to the school or co-curricular student activities that typically take place outside the formal class period and are not required for class work or credit. Examples of co-curricular activities include fundraising, school clubs, field trips, and any other activity which is not essential and integral to any particular course. The funds are held by the school in a separate insured checking account under the school’s name, in trust and for the benefit of students or school.
