FUNDRAISING
The purpose of HANS Fundraising is to promote the general welfare, education and morale of all the students in support of the Hoosier Academies Network of Schools mission statement.
Requirements for School-Sponsored Fundraising:
All fundraising for Hoosier Academies Network of Schools must have the pre-approval of the Head of Schools. Organizers should fill out, at least annually, a Fundraiser Request form which specifies the goal of the fundraiser, the type of activity, the time it will take, how the funds will be collected and the number of students involved. When planning an event, keep in mind that students or staff should never be coerced or compelled to participate in fundraising activities. Students may be rewarded for participation in a fundraiser, but they should not be penalized because of a refusal to participate in fundraising activities conducted on behalf of a school.
A student organization may raise funds to benefit itself or to benefit a bona fide local, state, national, or international organization or cause. A student organization must have a school designated sponsor to oversee that the fundraising policy is being met.
Any and all monies collected by employees, non-employee volunteers, and by students shall be handled in a prudent and secure manner. All monies collected shall be receipted, accounted for, and directed without delay to the Manager, School Operations or his/her designee. Monies collected must be kept in a secure locked location if collected outside of normal business hours.
All school funds, relating to Fundraising shall be recorded and tracked in a separate account specific to group organizing the fundraising. The distribution of funds from this account shall be by the request of the fundraising sponsor on approval by the Head of School.

Testing Task Force
Future Teacher Leadership (FLA) at Hoosier Academies
Studies on teacher retention and attrition have suggested that more than 40 percent of all teachers
leave the profession within their first five years, and that high-poverty, high-minority public schools have
even higher rates of turnover. (Ingersoll, R., Merrill, L., & Stuckey, D. (2014). Seven trends: the
transformation of the teaching force, updated April 2014. CPRE Report (#RR-80). Philadelphia:
Consortium for Policy Research in Education, University of Pennsylvania).
Mission:
Our mission in our Future Teacher Leadership (FLA) program is to develop the character and servant
leadership skills in our staff to increase our engagement and best practices. Additionally, it is the
mission of the Future Teacher Leadership program to retain highly effective teachers in our schools by
creating pathways for a variety of leadership opportunities in our schools.
Goals:
Our Future Teacher Leaders are taught to operate strategically from various leadership lenses to help
their schools and organizations perform at optimal levels. Our FLA program is designed to take a deep
dive into the Structural, Political, Human Resources and Symbolic frames and learn how to leverage
them as a lens, or perspective, through which leaders can view and process their work, leadership, and
organizations to move our instruction and schools forward.
About our Program:
Our program includes FLA staff who have a variety of interests that span from improving their
instruction techniques and best practices, to teachers interested in taking on lead roles in the school
(test site leaders, head up the National Honors program, Professional Lead Teacher Opportunities etc).
We have teachers who want to pursue becoming lead teachers and department heads on their teams,
and who desire to become future administrators or even teachers who are interested in educational
business leadership opportunities with Hoosier and K12.
In this vain, our program includes individual and/or partnership FLA Projects that the Staff work on
during the program. Topics of Projects include but are not limited to: Creating an Advisor Handbook,
Creating Special Education Flow Charts to Improve Communication, and Writing Curriculum for
Certificate of Completion students (COC).
FLA Staff are trained in such topics as:
• Characteristics of Leadership
• Data Driven Instruction
• Questioning Techniques
• Four Frames of Leadership: A Foundational Approach to Impactful Leadership
In culmination and celebration of our FLA staff, we hold a graduation ceremony in Herndon, Virginia
(K12 Home Site). During this educational trip, FLA staff learn about the inner working of educational
management.

DEVELOPING LEADERS
Studies on teacher retention and attrition have suggested that more than 40 percent of all
teachers leave the profession within their first five years, and
that high-poverty, high-minority public schools have even higher rates of turnover. (Ingersoll, R., Merrill, L., & Stuckey, D. (2014).

Policy Research in Education, University of Pennsylvania).
