The JMCSS school board approved revised policies in Section 6 and a policy on revenues (policy 2.4) that allows the district to collect district-level funds via online payment channels.
A board member (S10) asked for clarification on whether policy 2.4 would permit online collection of funds. Attorney Thomas (S11) told the board that two possibilities were discussed in the work session: either allow online collection of district funds or prohibit it. The policy before the board permits online collection of district funds but does not apply to school-level funds or funds collected by third parties and then passed to schools.
The board approved the policy package by voice vote. The transcript shows the attorney clarified the policy’s scope to ensure the board understands it governs centrally collected district funds, not school-organized or third-party payments.
