The province has announced new guidelines for school fundraising. What I like best about them is that they are explicitly designed to "ensure that school fundraising proceeds complement - not replace - public funding for education."
That means fundraising proceeds can't be used things that the board should already be funding, such as textbooks, repairs, classroom learning materials (would that include documents projectors and iPads?) or capital projects. It also prevents us from raising money for professional development for teachers.
The province's new Guideline for School Fundraising also mandates greater transparency so parents know how their money is being spent.
What do you think? Do you get enough information about how the money we raise is being spent?
