The purpose of this policy is to permit the Board of Education to honor its staff, former Board members, and other persons with plaques, pins, token retirement gifts and awards, and other amenities.

The Board wishes to also honor staff, students, citizens, and advisory groups for their contributions with appropriate recognitions and authorizes administrators to purchase meals, refreshments, and/or other amenities to further the interests of the District.

The Board does, hereby, affirm that the expenses incurred as listed above do serve a public purpose. The Board believes that "public purpose" serves for the promotion of education, rapport with the business community, community relations, and the encouragement of nonemployees to serve as volunteers, as well as furthering other interest. The funds are available from interest earned from the Board's General Fund investment program.

The Superintendent is authorized to approve all expenditures from this appropriation account.

This resolution shall remain in effect until such time as changed by the Board or by law.
