Are booster clubs allowed to use school address on their bank checks?
Question: Are booster clubs allowed to use our school’s address on their bank checks? Response: Booster clubs, foundations, and parentteacher associations (PTAs) are organizations established to provide support to the school district and its students. These groups may raise funds and donate these funds to the district or purchase items with their funds for donation or assistance to the district, but they are not legally considered a part of the school district. Because booster clubs, foundations, and other types of parent organizations are separate from the school district, they are not under the control or the responsibility of the school principal, superintendent, or governing board, but governing boards are able to approve guidelines for them to follow. The funds are not controlled by the district, including students. Their fund-raising activities are supposed to be approved by the governing board. Education Code section 51521 requires that all organizations that conduct fund-raiser
