School Board Policy 713 -
Student Activity Accounting
Adopted: June 10, 2019
The School Board recognizes the need to provide alternative paths to learning, skill development for its students, and activities for student enjoyment. It also understands its commitment to and obligation for assuring maximum accountability for public funds and student activity funds. For these reasons, the School Board will assume control over and/or oversee funds for student activities as set forth in this policy.
A. Curricular and Cocurricular Activities
The School Board shall take charge of, control over, and account for all student activity funds that relate to curricular and cocurricular activities.
The School Board shall review all student activity accounting that relates to extracurricular activities.
C. Non-Student Activities
In overseeing student activity accounts under this policy, the School Board shall not maintain or account for funds generated by non-students including, but not limited to, convenience funds of staff members, booster club funds, parent-teacher organization or association funds, or funds donated to the school district for specified purposes other than student activities.
A. Co-curricular Activity
A “co-curricular activity” means those portions of the school-sponsored and directed activities designed to provide opportunities for students to participate in such experiences on an individual basis or in groups, at school and at public events, for improvement of skills (i.e., interscholastic sports, band, theater, etc.). Co-curricular activities are not offered for school credit, cannot be counted toward graduation, and have one or more of the following characteristics:
1. They are conducted at regular and uniform times during school hours, or at times established by school authorities;
2. They are directed or supervised by instructional staff in a learning environment similar to that found in courses offered for credit; and
3. They are partially, primarily, or totally funded by public moneys for general instructional purposes under direction and control of the School Board.
B. Curricular Activity
A “curricular activity” means those portions of the school program for which credit is granted, whether the activity is part of a required or elective program.
C. Extracurricular (Noncurricular/Supplementary) Activity
An “extracurricular (noncurricular/supplementary) activity” means all direct and personal services for students for their enjoyment that are managed and operated under the guidance of an adult or staff member. Extracurricular activities have all of the following characteristics:
1. They are not offered for school credit nor required for graduation;
2. They generally are conducted outside school hours or, if partly during school hours, at times agreed by the participants and approved by school authorities;
3. The content of the activities is determined primarily by the student participants under the guidance of a staff member or other adult.
D. Public Purpose Expenditure
A “public purpose expenditure” is one which benefits the community as a whole, is directly related to the functions of the school district, and does not have as its primary objective the benefit of private interest.
IV. Management and Control of Activity Funds
A. Curricular and Co-curricular Activities
1. All money received on account of co-curricular activities shall be turned over to the Director of Finance, who shall deposit such funds in the general fund, to be disbursed for expenses and salaries connected with the activities, or otherwise, by the School Board upon properly allowed itemized claims.
2. The Director of Finance shall account for all revenues and expenditures related to curricular and co-curricular activities in accordance with the Uniform Financial Accounting and Reporting Standards (UFARS), the Manual for Activity Fund Accounting (MAFA) to the extent applicable, and school district policies and procedures.
1. Extracurricular Activities Under School Board Control
a. Any and all costs of extracurricular activities under School Board control may be provided from school revenues.
b. All money received or expended for extracurricular activities under School Board control shall be turned over to the Director of Finance, who shall deposit such funds in the general fund, to be disbursed for expenses and salaries connected with the activities, or otherwise, by the School Board upon properly allowed itemized claims.
c. The Director of Finance shall account for all revenues and expenditures related to extracurricular activities under School Board control in accordance with UFARS and MAFA and school district policies and procedures.
