  19. Budget Transfers • If you have carry-over funds, you do not need to transfer money. You can just over-spend an account. • Board Policy 622.1 explains budget transfers. • If you are transferring money within the same function (12X XXX to 12X XXX) you can transfer any amount. • If you are transferring money that is not in the same function but is under $5,000.00 it will be reported to the Board in a quarterly report. • If you are transferring money that is not in the same function but is over $5,000.00 it must go to the board for approval before the transfer is complete.

  20. Student Activity Accounts Student Activity Funds (Fund 60) VS. District Activity Funds (Fund 10)

  21. Student Activity Funds Student Activity Funds (Fund 60) consists of activities that revolve around a student organization. Disbursement of the organization’s moneys is subject to the approval of the student organization and its supervisor. District Activity Funds (Fund 10) consist of co-curricular activities in which students participate, but are administered by the school district. District activity moneys belong to the school district, are deposited in the district’s operating bank account and are disbursed through the school district’s general cash disbursement procedures.

  22. Management of Student Activity Funds Every student activity fund club or group or account must have a statement of purpose on file with the principal before financial activities can begin. A system of internal controls should be implemented in order to safeguard the assets of the student activity funds. The purchasing, receiving, and accounting functions must be segregated. The principal is responsible for supervising and enforcing accounting procedures of all Student Activity Funds. The principal, asst. principal, or teacher-in-charge must approve all withdrawals by signing the withdrawal form and the check.

  23. Management of Student Activity Funds Monthly financial reports for student activity funds should be prepared by the secretary, inspected, verified and signed by the principal and submitted monthly to the Business Services Department. *Please NoteEffective Immediately - Failure to turn in monthly balanced statements by the 15th of the next month may result in the loss of your 25% School Fees Credit being added to your carryover. Exceptions may be approved by the Director of Business.

  24. Management of Student Activity Funds • DEPOSITS • All funds should be turned in to the school office secretary (bookkeeper) on a daily basis. Deposits must be verified by a minimum of two people. • All checks should be endorsed for deposit only immediately upon receipt. • Bank deposits should be made as promptly as possible - daily if feasible but required at least weekly. • Deposits of cash cannot be exchanged for a personal check from a district employee.

  25. Management of Student Activity Funds • WITHDRAWALS • Checks must be signed by the principal or designee only after they are completely prepared. • Checks can not be signed by the secretary. • Student activity fund expenditures should always be supported by properly approved vendor invoices or payment vouchers.

  26. ADDITIONAL GUIDELINES • If interest or dividends are earned on an account, the funds may be deposited into a “Needy Student Account” if a Statement of Purpose indicates so. Without this, interest must be disbursed between accounts. • Receipts for Book deposits, locks, transcripts and other fees temporarily deposited to agency accounts must be reclassified at year end to the required fund. (Examples: Fund 10 General, Fund 27 Special Ed, Fund 50 Lunch, Fund 60 Student Activity/Agency Funds, Fund 80 Recreation)

  27. ADDITIONAL GUIDELINES • Accounts may not carry a balance over to the next fiscal year unless the statement of purpose specifically addresses the purpose for such action. • Revenue may derive from vending machines, school stores, gate receipts, etc. If a student organization is in charge of the activity, the proceeds should be accounted for in that organization’s activity fund. If the district determines the use, the proceeds should be accounted for with other district funds in the district’s accounts.

  28. ADDITIONAL GUIDELINES • Scholarship funds are not agency funds and should not be reported in fund 60. Scholarship funds including those resulting from donations from parent and student organizations, should be sent to the administration building for deposit to the district budget fund 72. • Convenience funds such as sunshine funds, faculty or coffee funds are not student related and have no statutory authority for a district to maintain on its general ledger.

  29. ACTIVITY FUND MAINTENANCE REVIEW • Are all accounts eligible to be a Fund 60 Acct? • Does each account have a statement of purpose at school with a copy in the Business Office? • Does the Principal sign for all withdrawals and checks written? • Is there always a minimum of two people verifying deposits? • Are monthly and annual balancing and reconciliation reports being done? • Are you using the district three-part deposit form? • Are you using the district two-part withdrawal form?

  30. DO’S OF STUDENT ACTIVITY ACCOUNTS • Do follow activity account policies and procedures. • Do reconcile bank statements on a monthly basis. • Do issue receipts for monies collected by club representatives. • Do endorse all checks for “deposit only” upon receipt. • Do make timely deposits. • Do make all purchases by check. • Do have Principal, Asst. Principal, Teacher in Charge sign all checks. • Do assign accountability.

  31. DON’TS OF STUDENT ACTIVITY ACCOUNTS • Don’t include General Fund (Fund 10) activities. • Don’t allow deficits to occur in individual accounts. • Don’t sign blank checks in advance. • Don’t issue checks to cash. • Don’t issue receipts without counting monies collected first. • Don’t allow personal purchases through student activity accounts (avoid sales tax). • Don’t allow idle cash to be held un-deposited. • Don’t destroy voided checks. • Don’t cash personal checks for anyone.
