PUBLIC  GIFTS / DONATIONS 
TO  SCHOOLS

The Board has the authority to accept gifts and donations as may be made to the District.

The Board reserves the right to refuse to accept any gift that does not contribute toward the achievement of the goals of this District and the ownership of which would tend to adversely affect the District.

Any gift accepted by the Board shall become the property of the District, may not be returned without the approval of the Board, and is subject to the same controls and regulations as are other properties of the District.  The Board shall be responsible for the maintenance of any gift it accepts, unless otherwise stipulated.

The Board will make every effort to honor the intent of the donor in its use of the gift, but reserves the right to utilize any gift it accepts in the best interest of the educational program of the District.

In no case shall acceptance of a gift be considered to be an endorsement by the Board of a commercial product or business enterprise or institution of learning.

The Superintendent shall:

●  Encourage individuals and organizations considering contributions to the school to consult with the Superintendent on the appropriateness of any such gifts.

●  Report to the Board all gifts that have been offered to the District, for their review and action.

●  Acknowledge the receipt and value of any gift accepted by the District, and prepare fitting means, as appropriate, for recognizing or memorializing gifts to the District.

Gifts shall be recorded in appropriate inventory listing(s) and property records.
