**JJE - STUDENT FUND-RAISING ACTIVITIES** **Last Updated Date:** 05/27/2014 **Adoption Date:** 01/10/2006 There are many educational values to be gained by students’ participating in school-sponsored clubs and activities on a voluntary basis. For many, this provides leadership and group experiences which are not possible within the formal classroom. Ideally, the School Committee should underwrite the expenses for these educational experiences, but limitation of funds seldom allows this to happen. Accordingly, the following guidelines are set forth to govern the fund-raising activities of student groups: 1.         The faculty advisor working under the direction of the school principal is responsible for seeing that a fund-raising drive is planned and carried out in a responsible manner. Adequate provision must be made for the safety and security of students participating. The drive must be conducted in accordance with town local regulations and should take into account the sensitivities of the adult citizens of the community. 2.         Fund-raising drives may be conducted only by duly authorized clubs and groups of the school. a.         The planning of fund-raising activities shall take place during the meeting time of the student group—not during regular class time. b.         Generally, an authorized club or group is limited to one fund-raising drive per year which takes place outside of the school. c.         Guidelines will be set up by the principal to control fund drives within the school (such as cookie and bake sales). d.         All monies received shall be deposited in the appropriate activities account and shall be used only to support the legitimate activities of the club or group. 3.         The cost of the individual or business for a service, product or modest publicity must bear a reasonable relationship to the value received by the individual or business.
