• QUESTION 1: May a school still receive donations from parents and guardians?• Answer: YES. School districts, schools, programs, and
classes can and do seek and accept donations of funds and property, and this practice is permissible as long as the donation is truly voluntary and in no way a prerequisite to participation in the program or activity…Donations cannot be made for a specific student; instead, they are made to a school or program. For example, if a person wishes to donate to their school’s cheerleading program, they can donate to the cheer program or to the cost of cheer camp but not for a specific cheerleader.
FAQ’s

• QUESTION 2: May a school still fundraise?• Answer: YES. School districts, schools, programs and
classes can and do engage in fundraising activities and programs, and this practice is also permissible as long as the raising of funds is voluntary. You may require students to attend a fundraising event; however, if they are unable to raise funds for the event, you cannot prevent them from participating in an educational activity. Also, attendance at a fundraiser can be required if it is a team or club event. Penalties for non-attendance would be similar to those imposed for failure to attend any other team or club event (e.g., sitting out a game, etc.).

any student who is a member of the school team in question. You can allow students to purchase their own uniforms if they want to purchase uniforms; however, buying a uniform cannot be a requirement to participate in a sport.

• QUESTION 4: May a school require team members to purchase Spirit Packs?• Answer: NO. Spirit packs may be sold; however, a school
cannot require a student to purchase a spirit pack as a prerequisite to participate in a sport. If there are practice uniforms, etc., which are required, they must be provided free of charge to any student who is a member of the school team in question.
FAQ’s
COACH WORKSHOP
• QUESTION 5: What if a school only charges fees to those students who can afford them; and has a waiver process for those who cannot?• Answer: NO. A waiver process based on financial need
