Code No.: 802.12
GIFTS – GRANTS – BEQUESTS
The board believes gifts, grants, and bequests to the school district may be accepted when they will
further the interests of the school district. The board will have sole authority to determine whether the
gift furthers the interests of the school district.
Gifts, grants, and bequests are approved by the board. Once it has been approved by the board, a board
member or the superintendent may accept the gift on behalf of the school district.
Gifts, grants, and bequests once accepted on behalf of the school district become the property of the
school district. Gifts, grants, and bequests are administered in accordance with terms, if any, agreed to
by the board.
