    Important Information for School Principals

    Student Activity Funds (SAF) are comprised of all monies received from sales, fees, fundraising, donations, or other sources that are raised by individual schools of the District. Funds are held at the school in a trust capacity and are to be used for the benefit of the students by whom they were raised.

    Per the SAF Procedure Manual:

    “A. School principals, when they accept appointment as the school administrator, assume full responsibility for all activity funds and accounts under their supervision.

    B. The school principal is fully accountable to the Superintendent for management and oversight of all school funds. This includes, but is not limited to, ensuring that staff are properly trained, a backup for the bookkeeper has been designated and properly trained, all procedures are followed, and an annual financial report (year-end closing report) is submitted to the appropriate District office."

    The SAF Team is able to advise on all things related to Student Activity Funds, but the principal holds the ultimate responsibility.
