The board values the participation and the support of school district-community groups, including, but not limited to, the booster club and parent-teacher organizations, which strive for the betterment of the school district and the education program. 

Prior to any purchase of, or fund raising for the purchase of goods or services for the school district, the group will confer with the superintendent or designee to assist the group in purchasing goods or services to meet the school district's needs.

All groups must complete a district fundraising form prior to engaging in fundraising for the district or school. In fundraising efforts of $5,000 or more, the organization should work with the Foundation for the Iowa City Community School District.

Funds raised by these groups for the school district are separate from the accounts of the school district.

It is the responsibility of the building principal to be the liaison with the school district-community groups affiliated with the building principal's attendance center.
