Associated Student Bodies

An Associated Student Body (ASB) is a formal organization of students, supervised by the school district and governed by a constitution approved by the School Board, whose activities shall promote the cultural, athletic, recreational, or cultural growth of students.

1. ASBs are mandatory whenever one or more students engage in money raising activities with the approval and under the supervision of the district.  The school principal is designated to act as the ASB for K-6 school buildings.
2. The School Board has authority over ASBs. ASBs are subject to the same laws as the district, including accounting procedures, budgets and warrants.
3. The building principal is delegated primary responsibility to advise and supervise ASB programs and activities consistent with School Board policies and applicable state and district rules and regulations.  The principal may assign staff members to assist as ASB advisors.
4. The principal shall administer the ASB in conformity with the regulations and procedures published in the district’s ASB Procedures Manual.
