Q. I found out recently the money raised from selling gold cards for the teams at our school go into booster clubs, and not ASB. I recall you saying gold card money should go into ASB and not a booster club. Can you could clarify the subject and why it should go into ASB and not booster?
Q. We are approaching ASB elections and it looks like all of our officer positions will be uncontested. In other words, there is only one person running for each position. Do we still need to have these students campaign, give speeches, and place their names on a ballot for students to vote on? There is nothing in our constitution that addresses the situation.
Q. We would like to purchase items to reward kids on good behavior. These items are NOT for resale, but to give out as a “reward”. Is our ASB allowed to do that? I heard we cannot purchase food as a “prize”, and so we are looking at purchasing beanies, water bottles, Nerf footballs, etc. I’m sorry that I’m bothering you about this, but before we purchase these items I wanted to find out from you if we can. Thank you.
Q. Our Middle School conducted a fundraiser under ASB. Now they would like to donate $500 of the $12,000 raised to Homeless Backpacks (nonprofit). They would note it in their minutes. Will that be sufficient since they didn’t raise it under Private Purpose Trust (6000) account?
