District Guidelines
When you donate cash, checks, services or noncash items to the school or district, please complete the Contribution Form and submit to the Principal. If cash or check is involved, please attach the check/money order to the form.
Board policy CDC requires all gifts and grants from private sources to be "included among the total receipts of the District which are reported in the annual financial statement".
Accordingly, all gifts/donations/in-kind services are required to be processed through the campus front office, as applicable, and reported to the Director of Communications in the Communications Department, via the Contribution Form.
CDC (LOCAL) states "The Board delegates to the Superintendent the authority to accept unsolicited gifts on behalf of the District. However, any gift with a cost or market value of $50,000 or more, any gift that the potential donor has expresslu made conditional upon the District's use for a specified purpose, or any gift of real property shall require Board approval.
