FRAPP JULY 2019 5

School Fundraising Association/Society:

Alberta.

RELATIONSHIPS

FRAPP JULY 2019 9

If a School Council has the purpose to advise on matters relating to the school, and a Registered Society has the purpose to raise funds to support and enhance the education of the students at the school, what types of relationships can there be? And: Where does the Principal fit into all of this?

ORGANIZATIONAL RELATIONSHIP

FRAPP JULY 2019 10

1. School Council only: limited fundraising; does not participate in extensive fundraising and purchasing, focuses on advising. OR 2. School Council and Fundraising Association work closely together: they both fundraise and advise. OR 3. School Council and Fundraising Association work independently: School Council advises, Fundraising Association raises money – School and School Council ask Fundraising Association for money to support goals.

WORKING RELATIONSHIP

FRAPP JULY 2019 11

  • A School Council and a Fundraising Association work to support & enhance

the school environment

  • Roles & responsibilities are different
  • Relationships should be clearly defined and communicated
  • The Principal, by virtue of the Education Act, shall have the power of veto relating

to actions directly affecting the school building, staff or students, but not relating to financial expenditures, revenues or investments of the Society.

CONCLUSION

14

FRAPP JULY 2019

  • Fundraising Associations have very different legislative,

authoritative and accountability factors than School Councils.

  • The Principal is the final decision maker when it comes to actions

directly affecting the school building, staff or students.

  • Fundraising Associations and School Councils can work together

effectively if they understand their roles and authority.
