Mr. Fazzio talked about looking up funding through American Express, somewhat restrictive

Talked about raising money through the community, If we can raise $10,000 the foundation will match the funds for STEM projects.  He has raised $5,500 so far

Discussion of school board policy 4571:

ELEMENTARY FUND RAISING Fund raising is a necessary function at the elementary school level. It is not legal in the state of Utah to charge mandatory fees in grades K-6.

GUIDELINES:

A. Community Fund Raising 1. A maximum of 2 community fund raisers per school each school year will be allowed, e.g.: a. candy sales b. wrapping paper sales

B. In-school Projects/Products 1. In-school fund raisers will be limited to one (1) per school quarter. Projects that are not fund raisers but curricular in nature, e.g., young authors fair, mountain man rendezvous, art festivals, etc., will not be restricted but administrative discretion as to frequency and calendaring is advised. Examples: a. book fair b. t-shirts, sweat shirts (school logo) c. carnivals d. pictures

C. Charitable Programs 1. Charitable fund raisers will be limited to one (1) per school year. Information concerning other community drives may be made available to the students at the discretion of the building principal. Fliers should not be handed out to each student but be placed in a central location within the building where interested students could pick them up. Student involvement would be based on parent and student interest and would not be coordinated or controlled by the school. Examples: a. Sub for Santa b. March of Dimes

D. Other - Grade or Class Projects (In-school) There will be a limit of one (1) grade or class activity at each grade level per school year. Examples: a. Class projects - aluminum cans, etc. b.

Building principals are encouraged to carefully evaluate the quality and effectiveness of fund raisers.
