Message from our President, Mark Locklear. |
Hello Boosters:Our next meeting is Monday and we encourage everyone to attend - 7:00pm at the
Teacher's Lounge. We will be going over the 5K numbers, we will have a debriefing on this year's race and we
will discuss what we need to do to improve the overall race experience, drive more participants to the race and entice more
sponsorships. We will not go into suggestions in depth, but we will get the comments recorded and cover those topics at
our next meeting.We also need
to talk about the open board spots for next year. Many of our key board members "graduated" last June
(Ron Elter, Roz Reasor,
Betsy King & Craig Elliott) and will be "graduating" this June (Rick Simmons, Mike Purcell, Lisa McMains, Vicky
Norman & Vicki Thomas to name a few), and frankly I need to cut back on my responsibilities next year. Now is the
time for you or someone you recommend to step up to really support athletic boosters at Northwood.Thanks for all your support!All the best,Mark

Donations: In 2010, the American Civil Liberties Union filed a lawsuit against the state over fees, charges and
deposits imposed on public school students.
New legislation outlining
guidelines and audit procedures has since been drafted and is awaiting the governor's signature. Yet California's Constitution
already affirms that students and parents cannot be required to pay money to gain access to educational activities, nor can
they be charged for materials and supplies necessary to participate in educational activities.
“Educational
activities” has been clearly defined to include extracurricular offerings such as music, sports and some clubs. Moreover,
the rules described above apply to all affiliated groups supporting district and school programs, including PTAs, boosters
and foundations. It should be noted that the law does not prohibit schools and districts from requesting
voluntary donations, and that’s how IUSD intends to preserve some of its more vital educational offerings. Additional
information can be obtained from the Irvine Unified School District website. Click here to go to their Student Fee Information page. The "Donate" button below will take you to the secure
PayPal website where you can charge any amount on your credit card or PayPal account, if you have one. Within PayPal
there will be a free-form text area where to can define which specific sports accounts are to receive your donation.
See a list of the eligible sports accounts in the right hand column. Donations are not a substitute for membership
to the Athletic Boosters Club. Money received for membership will pay for coaching stipends, uniforms,
awards, letters, plaques, metals, etc. Each sport must have 75% participation in the Athletic Booster Club to be
eligible for the previously mentioned items.
