4. Schools shall ensure against co-mingling of any school/District funds or funds generated through school-sponsored fundraising activities with the funds of any other individual or entity (i.e. booster organizations, commercial organizations, athletic programs, etc.). * It is imperative, therefore, that principals become familiar with the distinctions between fundraisers and donations and account for both separately. 5. Active, School-wide fundraisers shall last no longer than six weeks. 6. School-sponsored fundraisers cannot require students to submit the personal information of other people such as friends and relatives, and students shall not be used to develop mailing or contact lists for any commercial or fundraising organization. * As the sole exception to this provision, allowed for by State Board of Education rules, schools may collect funds on behalf of parent/teacher organizations.
6.1000 AUTHORITY OF SEPARATED PARENTS
EDUCATIONAL AUTHORITY OF SEPARATED PARENTS Issue Date: 11/8/18 Updated: 10/14/19 GK Divorce decree governs
Where a student’s parents are divorced or legally separated, parental authority with regard to educational decisions for the student shall be governed by the most recent court order on the matter (divorce decree, custody order, or similar document signed and entered by the court). A motion or petition by a party is not binding, only an order entered by the court (signed by a judge or other judicial officer having authority). If a parent believes that the terms of the order no longer apply (because of changed circumstances or because of failure by the other parent or another person to comply with the order), it is the parent’s obligation to obtain an updated order from the court. Unless doing so is specifically prohibited by the order, the school may recognize parental decision making authority other than as set out in the order if either parents (or all persons who have authority over the child under the order) consent. (Parental access to education records is addressed in Policy 5.0500) Authority where order does not specify If no court order specifies parental authority over educational decisions, or provides otherwise than set out below, the District will recognize parental authority over educational decisions of divorced or legally separated parents as follows: 1. Sole physical custody: A parent who has sole physical custody of a child shall have authority: a. To determine the child’s home residence for school attendance purposes or the school where the child will attend; b. To make educational decisions for the child if the parents disagree; and c. To determine who is allowed to have access to the child during school hours and to check the child out of school.
