STUDENT ACTIVITIES FUNDS MANAGEMENT
The DeSoto Parish School Board recognizes that from time to time schools must attempt to generate funds to supply needed instructional materials and supplies, as well as provide other benefits to the school and student body. All fees, fundraising activities, and other sources of student activity funds managed directly by the school shall require approval of the appropriate supervisor.
All teachers, principals, and any other school personnel who handle cash, receipts, or disbursements of school funds shall be required to abide by guidelines established by the Superintendent or his/her designee.
FUNDRAISING ACTIVITIES
The DeSoto Parish School Board recognizes that citizens, students, School Board personnel, other persons and organizations may wish to express support for a particular school or the school system by participating in school-sanctioned fundraising activities. The School Board shall require that such fundraising projects be conducted so that they do not interfere with educational objectives or community standards.
Fundraising activities include all activities organized, sponsored, or conducted by students and teachers, and shall be limited to those with recognized educational value. All fundraising activities must be approved by the Superintendent and must have a predetermined need unless the activity is for a charitable purpose. A Request for Fundraising Activity form shall be submitted outlining the activities.
