Gift and Donations
The Governing Board of Balsz Elementary School District is authorized to accept gifts and donations made to the District or to any school within it. All gifts become the property of the District and are subject to Board review and approval. We are grateful for the generosity of our community.
How the Process Works

Consult First
Before making a contribution, individuals and organizations are encouraged to consult with their school principal to confirm the gift is appropriate and aligned with District goals.
2
Complete the Form
The school or department administrator completes the Public Gifts & Donations Approval Form and forwards it to the Business Office for processing.

Board Review
All offered gifts are reported to the Governing Board for their review and action. The Board reserves the right to refuse any gift that does not serve the District's educational mission.
