Description
BOOSTER CLUB TRAINING
Booster clubs, foundations, auxiliary organizations, and other parent-teacher organizations (school-connected organizations) are composed of parents, community members, and staff members who unite to support specific school activities, programs, or the entire school.
The relationship between these organizations and schools involves complicated nonprofit operations, accounting principles, and business concepts that can be confusing. Although these groups supplement school programs and conduct activities with parents and other adult community members as the primary participants, they are not legally a part of their associated districts. These organizations are also not governed by the Education Code, yet remain subject to the board of education’s policies, administrative regulations, and oversight.
FCMAT’s workshop is interactive and covers a wide range of topics to answer questions on these organizations. Many useful links will be provided to help you manage your school-connected groups.
FCMAT also offers a variety of formats and time lengths for these workshops and will work with you to provide the training that will closely meet your LEA’s unique needs.
The Fiscal Crisis & Management Assistance Team (FCMAT) is pleased to offer a workshop on meeting district responsibilities effectively and completely when working with school-connected organizations such as booster clubs, foundations, auxiliary groups, and other parent-teacher organizations.
