Last week I raised the question: is your school ready to accept donations/contributions/gifts/grants? Special thanks to everyone who took the time to answer this question for me. The 15 responses I received does not offer a large enough number to form any hard conclusions, but in most of the responses individuals expressed their concerns with the lack of adherence to district policies for managing community financial support. And if you don’t mind, I want to spend a little more time researching this whole “readiness” issue. My thinking on this is really simple…if a district isn't ready to accept and manage funds from the community, then they aren't ready to be asking for funds.
Please, keep sharing your experiences and thoughts on this issue with me and I will keep digging to see what’s going on…and what’s not going on. Here is my email address: [email protected]
In the next couple of weeks I will be sharing some exciting news with you…news about some new tools that truly are amazing and you are going to have access to them. I promise you, the first word out of your mouth will most likely be what I said, “Wow.” So, give us a couple weeks to get everything ready and I will lay it all out for you to see what I am so excited about.
