NEPN/NSBA Code: JJE 

STUDENT FUNDRAISING ACTIVITIES

The School Committee recognizes that classes and student groups may wish to raise money through fundraising drives from time to time. In general, the Committee believes that student fundraising activities should be planned so as to limit the impact on the educational program. Students in the elementary grades are not permitted to engage in door-to-door solicitations.

Examples of acceptable fundraising activities include:

A.  Class magazine drive;

B.  Sale of tickets to scheduled athletic events and school performances;

C.  Sale of advertising space in school publications;

D. Fundraising activities designed as a class project or to benefit school programs/activities; and

E. Proposals to raise funds and/or materials for charitable purposes and/or reputable humanitarian organizations or community groups.

All fundraising activities shall be approved in advance by the building administrator or designee.

The Superintendent/administration shall develop the administrative procedures necessary to implement this policy.
