Policy IGDF
While it is recognized that some special, discretionary activities rely on student fundraising, it is the intent of the Board of Education to minimize the frequency and intensity of these efforts. Fundraising activities must gain the approval of the building principal or designee prior to the start of any project which involves students in selling or otherwise raising money. The principal will determine whether the use of students for this project is age appropriate, and does not exceed the reasonable limits placed on the school for fundraising.
Elementary students are prohibited from door-to-door sales of products or solicitations, without adult supervision. Even when accompanied by a parent or other responsible adult, elementary students are limited to their neighborhoods and the homes of relatives and family friends or parent work sites.
Middle and high school student fundraising activities must be carefully considered and the guidelines clearly articulated. Students are strongly discouraged from solicitations outside of their immediate neighborhoods.
Students are prohibited from entering into a stranger’s home while fundraising.
Fundraising activities will not normally occur during the instructional day. However, the building principal may approve exceptions when fundraising activities have an educational component.
