Fund Raising Policy

June 30, 2004

Profits generated during fund raising may be used for:

  1. School affiliated music department travel. Examples of such trips during the past few years include:
    • 2004 Orlando Tour
    • Purdue Jazz Festival; Rolling Meadows
    • Chicago Trips
    • Band Camp/Concert Choral Tour

  2. School sponsored events, such as Solo and Ensemble Festival. Fund Raising credits in student account may be used for entry fees only (no Accompanist fees).


  3. Any director and/or appropriate board approved music-related activity. Process to procure approval:
    • Student submits a written report of the activity to the director/board.
    • Request is processed and approved or denied.

  4. Fund raising accounts may transfer to biological or legal siblings only. Transfer accounts must be to incoming freshmen or older - accounts will not be held for younger siblings (i.e. 7th grade or younger for departing senior). Family participation must be continuous in the music program - there must not be a break in participation.

    Fund raising accounts are transferable between High School music departments (i.e. band to choir, choir to orchestra, etc.). Accounts are also transferable between FHC, FHN, and FHE HS.

    Student account balances will be held in escrow for one semester of non-Forest Hills music department enrollment.


  5. All funds are relinquished to the appropriate booster group operating budget upon graduation or de-enrollment. No financial gifts upon departure or graduation will be approved by any booster group.


  6. If fees are delinquent and there is a balance in a student account, funds will be withdrawn to cover the debt.
