Q&A PORTAL ANSWERS
Q1. I need a code when signing up for clearances. Please advise.
A1: If you go to the school district website they have a link for Volunteer Clearances. If you scroll down you see the code used for Truman is Service Code: 1KG6XN
Q2: Has the school been approached for a car spot fundraiser for seniors? The band could organize and run the fundraiser, supplying basic supplies and helpers.The school would still need to approve the designs.
A2: we are not aware that the school is working on a car spot fundraiser. . Thank you for sharing this idea and we'd love to have your input to explain how this could run. Is this a car show? Please reach out or come to one of our fundraising committee meetings so we can get a better idea of how this can help the band boosters. If you cannot attend our meeting, please elaborate in email to trumantigerbandfundraising@gmail.com
Q3: Do we know as an organization if we have the full support of the new athletic director? Will she recognize the band as a team sport?
A3: We have not had the opportunity yet to discuss this with Kyle. She just came into this position and we are just starting communications with her on the upcoming season schedule. We hear you though and will work on open communications with her to advocate to her the value this program offers to our students.
