DCRSD Staff and School Related Groups |
Group A |
Town Department Related: A department, board, committee, or commission that is subject to appropriation by Town Meeting or exists as a requirement of state statute or by virtue of a town bylaw. An extension of this includes organizations, which, in the good faith judgment of the Superintendent, are independent from government structure, but are integral to the function or operation of the Town.
Recognized Parent Groups: Parents who formally organize as a Parent Teacher Organization or Parent Teacher Student Organization within the District, with or without the acronym in their title will be treated as a Town Department. Although these groups may or may not be nonprofit organizations, formed by parents, and independent of public schools and control by schools, school districts, and school employees, their mission is to support and fund enrichment and curriculum standards for classroom students attending the Dudley-Charlton Regional School District. This definition includes, but is not limited to, the booster clubs or other similar formerly organized groups which are broad based in their support of students attending the Dudley-Charlton Regional School District. |
Group B |
Registered Public Charities: A registered public charity is an organization exempt under IRS Code§§501(c) or 501(c) (3) and has registered with the Division of Public Charities under the Attorney General’s Office. Non-profit groups operating a one time fund-raising event for the benefit of the Dudley-Charlton Public Schools or citizens of Dudley or Charlton with a Certificate of Solicitation from the Division of Public Charities will be charged as a Registered Public Charity for that single event.
Community Groups and Activities: Any youth group, community, or recreational activities sponsored by a nonprofit Dudley or Charlton organization or group deemed by the Superintendent for the welfare of the community, nonprofit groups operating a one time fund raising event for the benefit of the Dudley-Charlton Regional School District, or citizens of Dudley or Charlton with a Certificate of Solicitation from the Division of Public Charities, will be charged as a Registered Public Charity for that single event. |
Group C |
Any society, organization or individuals desiring to rent a school facility for fund-raising purposes of a noncharitable nature, or to use the facility for their own public recreational or entertainment purposes, (e.g., community groups, art, music or drama groups) will be charged according to the current schedule. |
