What requirements must a school support organization meet?
A. In 2007, the legislature enacted the “Local Education Support Group Financial Accountability Act of 2007.” [link to:http://tennessee.gov/sos/acts/105/pub/pc0326.pdf] This law requires each local school board to adopt a policy regarding local education support groups. It also prohibits the authorization of such groups until a policy has been adopted. The law defines student activity funds and school support group organization funds and specifies provisions and restrictions for each. It also prohibits a school employee from acting as a treasurer or bookkeeper for a school support organization.
