Admission Prices and Receipts
The Board authorizes charging of admission fees to certain district events including athletic events and others where appropriate, e. g. drama, fund raising dinners.
When admission is charged the building principal is responsible for the administration and supervision of all phases of the event including planning, selling, and accounting for tickets, depositing funds, safety of participants, and security of the building.
Admission charges shall be listed in rules after this policy or approval by the superintendent. Adequate records shall be maintained to provide chronological and accounting data for review and analysis. Serially numbered tickets shall be used for admission.
Free admission will be granted to district employees and current school board members. Such a benefit is provided to promote employee participation in, and knowledge of, curricular and extra-curricular activities, to increase informal communication between employees and students, parents and the community and to provide/supplement general supervision and oversight of such activities. Such a benefit for school board members encourages attendance at events and benefits the district by 1) providing Board members with direct knowledge of district curricular and extra-curricular activities, 2) increasing opportunities for informal communication between board members and employees, students, parents and community members, 3) allowing board members to better understand the breadth and value of District activities offered, and 4) providing visible support for school activities. Encouraging board member attendance at such activities ultimately results in better informed board members and better board policy decisions.
