GIFTS, GRANTS AND BEQUESTS

The board of education will accept gifts or bequests from individuals, estates, or organizations. Such gifts or bequests should be given to Banner County Public School Foundation for use by the school district, and will follow the by-laws of the Banner County Public School Foundation. Presentation of such items must be without restrictions, other than by grade or subject matter area. An item must not discriminate as to sex, race, or religion. Each item should possess only limited references to advertisements or to the individual or group making the donation. 

Gifts may be reviewed by the board of education prior to their acceptance. Consideration will be given to an item's overall appropriateness and its ability to meet the educational goals of the youth attending this school district. Should any community organization or group choose to conduct any money-raising ventures to donate an item or a piece of equipment to the school district, the organization is encouraged to discuss the project with the board of education prior to undertaking the project, to ascertain the need for the item or equipment. 

Gifts, grants, and bequests once accepted on behalf of the school district shall become the property of the school district. Gifts, grants, and bequests shall be administered in accordance with terms, if any, agreed to by the board.
