STATE LAW PROHIBITS INDIVIDUAL SALES ON CAMPUS STATE LAW PROHIBITS INDIVIDUAL SALES ON CAMPUS

User uploaded image
zoom_out_map

CA Education Code § 51520 prohibits outside organizations from soliciting pupils on school property during school hours, as well as one hour before and one hour after school. Education Code § 51521 requires that all organizations that conduct fundraising to benefit clubs, schools, students or the district at the K-12 level have prior approval from the school district’s governing board.


Individual staff or students may not conduct their own fundraising on campus for personal use. State law prohibits any solicitation—sales or other requests for money—of students on campus except by district-controlled programs, such as the Cafeteria, Student Store, Student Clubs, Parent Booster Clubs, or other board-approved groups. Individual students, teachers and other employees do not fall into these categories. An individual’s fundraising would be taxable income to that individual, reportable to the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) and Franchise Tax Board. Student body groups may participate in the district’s special income tax exempt status, but individuals may not.
