Gifts and donations

DSD welcomes donations from individuals, organizations, corporations and community groups and is grateful for our community’s support for teaching and learning. Donors should read the District Policy (KCD) on donations prior to making a contribution to the district.

District Policy KCD Public Gifts/Donations to Schools

 

Gifts of money, equipment and materials to the district or its schools by individuals and/or organizations may be accepted by the superintendent, provided that such gifts incur no obligations to the school district or school district personnel unless such obligations have been approved by the Board. Such gifts must be relevant to the recognized purposes of the school district. All gifts to the district or its schools in excess of $100 shall be reported to the Board.

The district nor any of its schools or personnel shall not solicit any gift, payment, gratuity or donation from any individual or organization in consideration for any commitment for goods, services or benefit. Excluded from this policy are organizations such as the Durango Foundation for Educational Excellence, booster clubs and parent organizations that raise funds to assist the school district.
