Donations of funding or materials for site or facility modifications require Lincoln Board of Education approval. Any materials or contracted labor must be bid in accordance with the Board policy and Lincoln Public Schools purchasing procedures and practices.
Individuals or groups wishing to donate funding, materials, equipment or in-kind labor to modify a school site or facility must provide the building principal with a written proposal requesting consideration of modifications in conceptual form. The principal will submit the proposal to the Director of Operations to assist with vetting and, if applicable, developing the proposal per school district specifications.
The donor will work through the Principal with the Operations Department to develop a proposal, which will include detailed information about the proposed modification, including estimated costs, preliminary design and specifications and what provisions will be made for any ongoing maintenance or operational costs. The proposal also must include the source of the funding for the modifications and any resulting ongoing costs.
The proposal will be forwarded to the Associate Superintendent for Business Affairs for approval. Donations will be reported to the Board for approval on the gift report. Any donor-supported modifications to the structure of a facility will be forwarded to the Planning Committee and Board for approval (i.e., addition) prior to commencing the project.
