• Work together with civility and cooperation, respecting that individuals hold differing opinions and ideas
• Participate in professional development, training and board retreats

The IU5 ELECT Program has been supporting pregnant and parenting students in your schools and we are once again preparing to apply for the grant funding to continue to provide this service to the students in your district.  As part of the application process, a signed Applicant Participation Certification form from each district participating in the consortium must be submitted.

ELECT programs are operated by Local Education Agencies (LEAs) including Intermediate Units (IUs) statewide. LEAs/IUs are awarded ELECT funds for a five-year period. LEAs and their partners should work collaboratively to eliminate barriers that may impede enrollment, attendance, receipt of services for academic success, and full participation of expectant and parenting students.

While it is not the intent of the Board to discourage either individual or organizational interest in the school, it is felt that clearly defined Board policy regarding gifts/ donations may prevent misunderstandings.  In general, it might be hoped that individual or organizational gifts/donations might be designated to causes or to purposes for which public funds cannot be expended.  It is with these basic assumptions in mind that the following policy regarding individual and organizational gifts/donations to the school has been adopted.

It shall be the policy of the District to exercise appropriate control in respect to the receiving of unsolicited gifts/donations to the schools within the system in accordance with 24 P.S. §2-216.  All monetary gifts/donations shall be received and managed by the District’s Director of Business Services and shall be accompanied by a letter from the grantor of the gift/donation indicating the specific purpose for which the monetary gift/donation is to be utilized by the District.  Upon the acceptance of the monetary gift/donation by the District, it shall then be utilized for said purpose.   

Individuals or organizations desiring to contribute supplies, services or equipment shall seek prior approval from the Superintendent or his/her designee.  Gifts/donations of equipment, services or supplies that require initial or continuing financial commitment of shall be submitted by the Superintendent for review by the Board.  for review by the Superintendent or his/her designee, with said submission including estimated costs associated with installation, inspection, ongoing maintenance, and any other known financial obligation.  The information shall then be shared with the Board, who will determine whether to accept or reject the gift/donation.

Relative to the District’s athletic programs, the following rules shall apply: 

1.   The District will not accept donations/gifts of any athletic equipment supplies, or services (e.g. referee fees, transportation costs, etc.), and no individual or organization shall be permitted to purchase any athletic equipment supplies, or services directly.  Individuals or organizations desiring to make a donation/gift for said purpose are directed to make a monetary gift/donation along with a written directive that the monetary gift/donation is to be used by the District for the purchase of the types of athletic equipment, supplies, or services desired.  Said athletic equipment, supplies or services shall then be purchased directly by the District.

2.   In order to ensure compliance with applicable PIAA Regulations, no gift/donation of any kind made to the District shall be permitted to be designated to any student athlete by name.  Any such gift/donation shall be rejected by the District.  Additionally, and again in order to ensure compliance with applicable PIAA Regulations, the District advises organizations, individuals and student athletes that no individual or organization should make a gift/donation of any kind (including the payment of any applicable participation fees) directly to a student athlete or his or her family. 

Because of differences in economic resources available to the various schools, and for other reasons, the purchase of equipment on a matching fund basis, (part of cost provided by an individual or organization and part by the Board from public funds) shall not be encouraged.

It is understood that equipment, services or facilities gifted/donated to the school becomes the property of the school district and are subject to the same controls and regulations governing the use of other school owned properties.  The District reserves the right to refuse to accept any gift/donation.

A list of supplies and equipment gifted/donated primarily for school use shall be reported to the Board by the Superintendent or his/her designee, at least annually.

The Superintendent or his/her designee will direct the administration to respond with the following guidelines:

Gifts/Donations of:

$100 - $4,999 – Letter of recognition and appreciation signed by the Superintendent or his/her designee.

$5,000 & above – Letter of recognition and certificate from the Board of Education.

The Superintendent or his/her designee, based on the amount and circumstances of a gift/donation, shall have the discretion to protect the identity of a donor who desires to remain anonymous or to deviate from the preceding guidelines and recognize a donor through other means deemed appropriate by the Superintendent or his/her designee.
