§ 48933 Student Body Fund Management

Key Takeaways

  • •Student group money (like from fundraisers) must be kept in safe places like banks or credit unions that are insured by the government.
  • •The school board must approve where the money is kept.
  • •To spend the money, three people must agree: a school official, the teacher in charge of the group, and a student from the group.

Example

A high school's student council raises $1,000 from a bake sale.

The money must be put in a bank account that the school board approves. Later, if the student council wants to spend $200 on new decorations for a dance, they need approval from the school principal, the teacher who oversees the council, and a student council member before they can spend it.
