Minutes disclose that OMS and OHS football ran a June 2-21 text-to-donate fundraiser without prior approval and netted about $55,000 to split for equipment, practice packs and team supplies.

Why it matters to families

The after-the-fact disclosure identifies a breakdown in the district’s fundraiser approval process involving a material amount of student-activity money.

The July 16 consent agenda lists the fundraiser as non-approved, states its dates and approximate proceeds, and the Board approved the consent agenda 4-0.
