1. The athletic program remains solely and totally under the direction and control of the district with full authority to act as the sponsor under OSAA rules, and to comply with federal and state laws, rules and regulations governing public school athletics.
2. The non-district revenue does not represent any vested interest that stands to make any pecuniary or personal gain from association with the district athletic program.
3. The non-district revenue will fully fund a sport equal to what the district would require without an emergency.
4. The non-district revenue to fund the entire season without interruption or reduction due to lack of funds must be available 30 days in advance of the first practice of the sport.
5. The non-district revenue sponsors agree not to place any vested interest demands on the district, coaches, or athletes.
6. The use of non-district revenue will be terminated upon the conclusion of the sport being financed by non-district funds.
7. Unexpended funds generated by non-district sources at the conclusion of the season will be accounted for by procedures required by Oregon law and administrative rules. Funds received by the district cannot be returned or diverted to other uses.
8. Funds collected to finance a sport that defaults due to lack of adequate funding will be returned to donors prior to turning over to the district.
9. The district shall make no commitment of future resources for a sport or activity as a result of receiving revenue under this policy.
The Board recognizes that not all costs necessary for a quality athletic program can be covered by the general fund. This is particularly true in years when revenue diminishes due to loss of enrollment or legislative action. The Board therefore authorizes the sale of advertising in the form of signs to be placed on high school athletic field fences.
The administration is directed to develop rules and procedures for the implementation of this policy.
