The Milford School Board welcomes donations to the District. Individuals or groups contemplating presenting a gift, or monetary donation to the school via a private donation or through crowd source funding websites, to a school or the District shall discuss the appropriateness of the gift in advance with the Building Principal or the
Superintendent.
The School Board delegates the responsibility for acceptance of non-financial donations, to the Superintendent. This delegation includes the determination as to whether or not a specific donation is appropriate and/or useful and also includes the right to reject donations deemed unsuitable.
The School Board will consider for acceptance donations recommended by the Superintendent, pursuant to RSA 198:20b. Contributions of equipment or services that may involve major costs for installation or maintenance, initial or continuing financial commitments from the District, or other contractual obligations shall be presented by the Superintendent of Schools to the School Board for consideration. Information about the contribution shall be presented, in writing, to the School Board at one meeting and voted on at a subsequent meeting no less than two weeks later.
Upon acceptance, all gifts shall become the property of the Milford School District. At the time of acceptance of the gift, there will be a definite understanding with regard to the use of the gift. The District will make every effort to honor the intent of the donor in its use of the gift, but reserves the right to utilize any gift it accepts in the best interest of the educational program of the district. In no case shall acceptance of a gift be considered to be an endorsement by the District of a commercial product or business enterprise or institution of learning. The use of donated items shall be subject to the same controls and regulations governing the use of other similar school-owned property. The District may dispose of such gifts at its discretion at any time.
