For those groups operating within the District (not a stand-alone, non-profit group), funds raised and used will be co-operatively managed by the organization’s executive committee and the school administrator.

School connected organizations must submit an annual financial statement showing all expenditures and all income from fund raisers.  These are compiled at the school level and reported to the Superintendent.  School connected organizations automatically grant the district the right to audit their financial records at any time, either by district personnel or by a CPA.
