Question: The School Board controls our Fundraising

Our School Board and Superintendent have made rules concerning our fundraising. We are not allowed to sell food that has sugar in it. No cookie dough, candy, chocolate popcorn. They have also stated that we have to submit our ideas to them and they need to be approved before we can do them. Are they allowed to do this?? Our profit has gone down a considerable amount due to these rules.

We have heard about school districts setting specific rules for fundraising and requiring schools to submit ideas for fundraising. So, you are not alone on this. Have you considered having a discussion with the superintendent about your fundraising? Maybe you could show them how overall fundraising has gone down and see if there are any compromises that might work -- for example, holding a food fundraiser and distributing the product off site.
