KGA Relationship with Educational Foundation

NEPN/NSBA Code:  KGA

RELATIONS WITH EDUCATIONAL FOUNDATIONS

The School Committee recognizes the importance of community support, including voluntary financial contributions, in assisting Lewiston Public Schools in enhancing student learning opportunities and achieving the school district’s goals.  The School Committee recognizes that educational foundations are separate legal entities that are independent of Lewiston Public Schools. 

The School Committee desires to work cooperatively with local educational foundations in communicating the needs of the schools and determining the purposes for which funds may be most effectively used in meeting the needs of the school unit and its students.

The School Committee may appoint a liaison or representative to the local educational foundations if invited to do so.

The School Committee encourages local educational foundations to provide regular reports to the School Committee concerning their work and to communicate ways that the school unit can help support the foundation’s activities.  

With the approval of the School Committee and as appropriate, an educational foundation may use the school district’s name and/or logo or the name and/or logo of a Lewiston Public Schools school.

Acceptance of gifts from educational foundations will be considered in accordance with School Committee policy KCD, Public Gifts to the Schools.
