Chico Unified School District

EVERY STUDENT, EVERY DAY

Sports Camps/Clinics/Tournaments

The Chico Unified School District is well aware of the importance of fundraising to keep Athletics as a positive educational experience in the District. It is also a necessity to keep these events legal and protect the employees from accusations of impropriety. The following guidelines have been developed to give coaches and other employees options for running their events while still protecting the employee and the District from financial and legal consequences.

 

The following are REQUIRED elements for running a camp, clinic or out of season tournament as a fundraiser within CUSD:

 

1.    Facility request.

2.    Certificate of Insurance.

3.    Registration form and process in place.

4.    All monies must be receipted.

5.    Reasonable coaches' compensation (not to exceed $100/day without prior approval).

6.    It is recommended all participants verify a recent physical or have a parent waiver form.

7.    A wrap-up financial report.
