The Board of Education appreciates the efforts of all organizations whose objectives are to enhance the educational experiences of District students, to help meet educational needs of students and/or provide extra educational benefits not provided for, at the time, by the Board.

These needs may be educational to parents and/or children. In addition to parents, membership should be made available to District staff and members of the community.

Each volunteer organization shall work within the appropriate school setting and in cooperation with the principal and other staff members and shall abide by the policies of the Board.

Each group will submit its bylaws to the Superintendent for review and approval.

The Board shall offer the opportunity for any authorized school support entity to receive coverage under the District's liability insurance program to protect the entity against claims resulting from damage or injury resulting from any act or omission of any school-support entity. The entity shall pay for such coverage upon written notification from the Treasurer.

The Superintendent shall implement administrative guidelines which ensure that each group's fund-raising activities are in compliance with Board policies and that the funds are used for school-related projects that have the approval of the Superintendent and principal.

Booster events off school property are not considered District-related activities or school sponsored events and staff members who attend these functions are considered private citizens during their time at these events and are not subject to any school related disciplinary actions.
