Q: Can the school system keep fundraisers that the children worked so hard to earn money for the trip
We were told that if for some reason we could not go on the trip that the school would keep all monies. They did not give us documentation stating that if they cancelled the trip that the children would not receive their fundraiser monies. Now they are saying that the school keeps the monies and our children will not even be returning to that school
A:
It depends. Without the ability to review any documentation, it is difficult to provide a definitive answer. However, it is not uncommon for schools to have similar provisions. You may benefit from speaking with an attorney who can review the relevant documentation.
We are glad to assist you. Contact us whenever you are ready.
We wish you well.
