Booster Clubs. A school district shall affirmatively encourage booster clubs and similar groups of fans to devote comparable attention to the promotion and encouragement of female and male sports. The district shall not give significant assistance to any private organization which aids, benefits, or services athletes in the district on a sex discriminatory manner, unless for each organization which supports the athletes of only one sex, and to which the school district gives assistance, there is a comparable organization which supports the athletes of the other sex to which the school district gives comparable assistance.
Booster Clubs. Nothing in this Agreement shall prevent the School’s bookstore, booster club, concessionaires, or similar entities from purchasing, selling, marketing or distributing Products.
Booster Clubs. The District will develop a comprehensive policy to regulate funding of athletic programs, including outside funding, such as booster club funding, flowing into the athletics program. This policy will provide a process for the District to monitor the amounts raised through outside fundraising and the benefits provided for female and male students with outside funding with regard to any of the components outlined at 34 C.F.R. § 106.41(c). Where the District determines that outside funding provides greater benefits for one sex, this policy will also provide a process for the District to ensure that the other sex receives equivalent benefits. OCR acknowledges that any such policy must be approved by the District’s School Committee and is subject to the District’s policies and procedures for adopting such policies. The District, however, commits to enacting a Title IX-compliant comprehensive policy to regulate funding of athletic programs, including outside funding, such as booster club funding, flowing into the athletics program, within a reasonable time following execution of this Agreement. REPORTING REQUIREMENT FOR SECTION II(A): By March 31, 2020, the District will submit a draft policy to OCR for review and approval along with a plan for implementing the policy. OCR acknowledges that any such policy must be approved by the District’s School Committee and is subject to the District’s policies and procedures for adopting such policies. The District will begin implementing the policy upon OCR’s approval and School Committee adoption of the policy. If the School Committee declines to adopt a policy approved by OCR, the District must promptly inform OCR of the School Committee’s objections and submit a revised draft policy to OCR for review and approval prior to resubmission to the School Committee. This process will continue until the School Committee approves a policy that is acceptable to OCR.
Booster Clubs. The District will revise its “Guidelines for Falmouth School District Booster Clubs and other Fundraising Organizations” (Guidelines) to specify how the District will monitor the amounts raised through outside fundraising and the benefits provided for female and male students with outside funding with regard to any of the components outlined at 34 C.F.R. § 106.41(c). Where the District determines that outside funding provides greater benefits for one sex, the Guidelines will provide a process for the District to ensure that the other sex receives equivalent benefits. REPORTING REQUIREMENT FOR SECTION II(A): By April 30, 2021, the District will submit a draft revision of the Guidelines to OCR for review and approval along with a plan for implementing the revised Guidelines. The District will begin implementing the revised Guidelines upon OCR’s approval.
