What the district published
This is the source material — exactly as released by RUSD. The plain English translation below is this site's version, written for community members who shouldn't need to know all the lingo to understand what they're legally entitled to as taxpayers, and how to access it.
The original isn't embedded here yet.
The district publishes through its board portal, which often points to a whole policy folder or meeting agenda rather than this one document. Rather than send you digging, I'll add the exact source the moment I can link it directly. The plain-English summary below is drawn faithfully from that original.

What this document actually says
Last Updated: November 12, 2024
This policy governs the relationship between Reed Union School District and educational foundations that raise money to support district programs. The Board acknowledges that while foundations are independent legal entities, they play an important role in supporting student learning through voluntary financial contributions. Key requirements include:
- Foundations may use the district's name or school logos only with the Superintendent's consent
- Student records and personal information cannot be shared without parental consent (though directory information may be released when appropriate)
- Foundations are encouraged to provide regular reports to the Board
- The Board supports foundation allocations that serve all district schools equitably
- The Board and foundation should work cooperatively to determine how funds are used to meet changing student needs
What this means for your family
This policy allows educational foundations to raise voluntary donations that supplement district programs and benefit students. Foundations must distribute funds equitably across all schools. Your child's personal information cannot be shared with foundations without your consent, though basic directory information may be released. Foundation funding can enhance educational programs beyond what district budgets provide, potentially benefiting arts, music, technology, and other programs your child accesses.
