STUDENTS
Collection of Money From Students
Non-School Organization and Activities It shall be the policy of the District to prohibit the solicitation of funds and goods from students by non-school organizations or persons. Person to person solicitation of students to participate in fund raising drives is prohibited; however, approved posters may be displayed to inform students of up-coming programs. Students participating in such programs do so as individuals and not as representatives of any school in the District. Resale-Instructional Supplies Instructional supplies for use in the curriculum and other items stocked for resale or rental must be approved by the Deputy Superintendent or designee.. Student Insurance Each year monies may be collected from students wishing to purchase insurance programs that have been offered by the District. Clubs and Organizations All money making projects sponsored by a school club or organization must be approved by the building principal before the project begins. Book clubs, which are completely voluntary as far as the purchase of books by pupils, are permitted. Teachers must assume full responsibility for collecting the money, for any losses that might occur, and for any problem that is related to the club. Books from book clubs shall be purchased in the name of the teacher as an individual, not in the name of the District. Solicitation by Students The principal of the building must authorize the collection of any funds or goods in the community or in the school before any collection is made. Such solicitations and collections should be held to a minimum. Receipts Receipts should be issued for all monies collected except for items that are immediately presented to the purchaser. School-related Organizations School related organizations such as P.T.A., Dads' Club, Boosters, Band Parents, etc., must receive prior authorization for all money making projects and activities from the building principal. Deposits All monies collected are to be deposited the same day; no funds are to be held at the school. School-sponsored activities will deposit funds into the district activity fund. Non-sponsored collections of funds must be deposited with the appropriate organization and such funds will not be held in the school building.
STUDENTS
Activity Funds
Collection of any funds for school activities must have the approval of the building principal and an administrative director. All activity funds shall be under the financial control of the Board.
Records and procedures relating to activity funds shall be in accordance with those found in Uniform Financial Accounting for Iowa Schools published by the Department of Education.
An audit of these accounts shall be made at the same time as the annual audit of school funds.
STUDENTS
Class or Student Gifts to School
Student groups may make expenditures for gifts to the District after securing the authorization of the building principal and the Superintendent. Gifts may be accepted and acknowledged by the Superintendent or superintendent's designee acting for the Board.
STUDENTS
Interviews with Students
A student may not be interviewed in school unless the principal or another delegated staff member is present. No interview shall be granted unless the principal deems it essential to the welfare of the pupil or the pupil is directed to do so by court order.
If police officers or other officials request an interview, an attempt shall be made to contact the student's parents or legal guardian and to have one of them present during the interview.
No student may be taken from school without the consent of the building administration.
This policy applies to all interviews of students by non-school personnel, except for those conducted in compliance with Iowa Code § 232.71B pertaining to a child abuse allegation, in which case the school administrator will cooperate with the investigator as stated in the law.
STUDENTS
Senior Lists
Senior lists may be distributed to institutions of higher learning and armed services upon request. The approval of the Superintendent or superintendent's designee is required. The organization receiving the senior lists will pay the school district for any cost involved.
The administrative staff shall cooperate with alumni groups and others associated with the District in providing identifying information of graduates for class reunions or alumni directories. Such information is limited to name, class year, address, parents' address, and phone number.
Any graduates objecting to being included in such lists may indicate such to the principal of the school from which they graduated. The above lists or directories may not be used for any purpose other than that for which an organization requests. Any group requesting lists must state the use intended of the information and indicate how confidentiality will be protected.
STUDENTS
Religious Excuse from Activities and Practices
All students are to be excused from activities, events, and practices, without penalty for religious activities and purposes, provided that the coach or advisor is given notification at least 24 hours prior to the absence.
STUDENTS
Fines, Fees, Charges and Waivers
The Board believes students should respect District property and assist in its preservation for future use by others. Students may be assessed fines, charges, or fees for the materials needed in a course, for overdue school materials, for participating in activities, or for misuse of school property.
The Superintendent or superintendent's designee shall inform the Board of any change in fee schedules. Parents of students meeting specific financial eligibility standards will be eligible for a waiver of student fees or a reduction of student fees based upon the request of the parent. It shall be the responsibility of the Superintendent or superintendent's designee, in conjunction with the principal, to develop administrative regulations regarding this policy.
