Fund-Raising/School Trips
Student groups or classes, and/or parent groups may be permitted to conduct fund-raising
drives for approved school purposes. An application for permission must be made to the
principal at least 10 days before the event. School trips are offered to students as
educational experiences and incentives; however, a student may be denied participation
due to discipline referrals that may include out of school suspension and/or placement at
the alternative center. Monies raised by students through fund raising activities will be
forfeited if the student fails to attend a scheduled trip
[For further information, see policies FJ and GE.].

in a manner that does not disrupt instructional or other activities of the school. The school
will not require, encourage, or coerce a student to engage in or to refrain from such prayer
or meditation during any school activity.
