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.

Reach out to a staff member, counselor, administrator or wellness counselor if you or a friend needs support.

Lakewood High School proudly hosted its 4th Annual Culture Fair, bringing students, staff, and the greater community together for an unforgettable celebration of diversity. The campus came alive with vibrant musical and dance performances, a stunning display of lowriders, and booths featuring items representing cultures from around the world. Students and staff embraced the spirit of the event by dressing in cultural attire and sharing traditions with pride.

Black Literary Society chapters from each LB high school convened at Cabrillo for a special day of learning and practice. We have been reading School Clothes by Dr. Jarvis R.

We were able to hear Dr. Givens give a talk about the history of Black History Month, get a copy of his new book, "I'll Make Me a World", have a Q+A session with him and also heard a talk from an elder in the community. We are actively recruiting members and planning to convene again with other chapters and Dr. Givens in May!
