1225- Relationship with Local Education Foundation

The Board of Education recognizes the value of the Valley Central Education Foundation and its efforts to support the District by enhancing the resources available to our schools and students.

To help ensure that the Foundation’s fundraising efforts and its planning of activities are in concert with the District’s mission and goals, the trustees of the Foundation are invited to meet with the Board on an annual basis. The Board will designate a Board member as liaison to the Foundation at its annual Reorganizational meeting.

Foundation activities, if they involve the use of District facilities or resources, must be planned in accordance with policy 1500, Public Use of School Facilities. Donations offered by the Foundation will be considered in accordance with policy 1800, Acceptance of Gifts. The Superintendent is charged with sharing the applicable policies and procedures with the trustees of the Foundation.

The Board of Education recognizes the Foundation as a separate legal entity from the school district. The Board encourages the leadership of the Foundation to coordinate its fundraising efforts with other school-community organizations.
