• GBEBC: The group discussed MASC's emphasis on raffles. This should not be a big concern as most
groups are aware of state laws. Principals should be made aware of the laws in the event that any staff
member in the school intends to initiate a raffle. Students are not allowed to coordinate a raffle.
There was some discussion on the acceptance of grants- are they considered part of gifts and
donations? Will review state laws. In the future, the School Committee will discuss the process for
approving gifts.
• JJE: Are clothing and food drives considered fund raisers? No, they do not need to need to obtain
superintendent approval though there was discussion on how to keep aware of what projects were
going on in each school.
