In order for organizations at my school to fundraiser it needs to be approved at the September school board meeting, so tonight myself and other FBLA (Future Business Leader of America) adviser asked the board's permission to do a fundraiser.
This is the first time we have had to ask permission. Prior to this year the school board has supported financial my students advancements to national FBLA level competition, but with dwindling budgets this is coming to an end (but amazingly sport kids don't have to pay - another topic). My co-adivser Cindy did the leg work and filled out the paperwork for this to be approved and tonight we just shared with the board what we would like to do.
It is always good to be visible with the board so they know what the department is doing to help students succeed. It will be more work for us this year to keep track of the fundraising packets from our students but it should cause less work in the spring for going to our National conference.
