Fundraising

Per Shelton Board of Education Policy # 1324, any Shelton Public Schools entity (school, PTO, booster club) wishing to raise funds (more than $100 in a school year/sports season) must complete a request to fundraise and submit it to the Office of the Superintendent for approval at a Regular BOE meeting (after a financial statement from the previous year has been approved by the BOE Finance committee). 

Beginning October 2026 and going forward, the Office of the Superintendent asks that ALL fundraising requests be submitted on this form:

Fundraising Request Form

FUNDRAISING REQUEST GUIDELINES

All financial statements and fundraising requests should be sent to the Office of the Superintendent at ksheridan@sheltonpublicschools.org or faxed to 203-924-5894.

Fundraising activities cannot commence until…

1. First, BOE Finance committee has reviewed and approved the financial statement from the previous school year, THEN...
2. Request to fundraise for the upcoming/current school year has been approved at a BOE Regular meeting.

Financial statements and fundraising requests should be submitted as such (These are not mandatory deadlines, but to avoid delays in fundraising activities, it is highly recommended that items be submitted in these timeframes):

For groups hoping to fundraise all year (July 1 through June 30):

• Submit financial statement and fundraising request for July or August meeting

For groups intending on fundraising just for their season:

• Submit financial statement and fundraising request for…
  • Fall: July or August
  • Winter: November
  • Spring: February

*Statements and requests must be submitted by end-of-day the Thursday before the meeting is scheduled. See the side bar for deadline dates.

**Statements and requests can be submitted at any time but fundraising activities cannot take place until both items are approved by the BOE; should a deadline be missed, submit for the next meeting.
