SECTION 1.3 – BOARD OF DIRECTORS
INTRODUCTION
The Board of Directors of each school district and its designees are responsible for
the protection and control of the financial resources of the Associated Student Body
Fund just as they are for other public funds placed in their custody. The laws
governing the Associated Student Body Fund, and the rules and regulations
developed by the Superintendent of Public Instruction pursuant to those laws
provide the legal and procedural framework for the Board of Directors of each school
district to administer the Associated Student Body Fund.
WAC 392-138-013 requires the Board of Directors to approve the constitution and
bylaws of each Associated Student Body in the District and establish policies and
procedures which:
•
Identify program activities.
•
Establish an official governing body.
•
Authorize methods and means to raise and acquire moneys.
•
Designate a primary advisor to each Associated Student Body.
•
Determine the purpose for which ASB moneys shall be budgeted and
disbursed.
RESPONSIBILITIES
The Board of Directors responsibilities include, but are not limited to:
•
Establishment of all policies and procedures related to the ASB.
•
Approval of all ASB fees and fee waivers.
•
Approval of all ASB expenditures.
•
Approval of the ASB budget.
•
Approval of a list of appropriate fundraisers.
•
Approval of all Associated Student Body constitutions and by-laws.
•
Approval of all clubs and class accounts and all athletic activities.
PURPOSES
•
To comply with formal requirements for organizing Associated Student Bodies
and establishing an ASB program fund.
•
To provide for the efficient administration, management and control of money,
records and reports of the Associated Student Bodies.
•
To encourage the supervised self-government of Associated Student Bodies.
The Board of Directors should develop policies and procedures to promote
this goal.
Final approval of ASB activities rests with the Board of Directors, but the students
determine what activities will constitute the Associated Student Body program.
Although no student activity may be a part of the Associated Student Body program
without the approval of the Board of Directors, the board has no power to initiate
Associated Student Body activities. The Board of Directors must set up a review and
approval process for activities initiated by members of the Associated Student Body.
