ASB Finance & Law

Managing Resources for School Success

The Association of Washington Student Leaders, in partnership with the Association of Washington School Principals Learning Centers, and the Washington Interscholastic Activities Association (WIAA) will be sponsoring ASB Finance workshops during the year. Keep yourself current on the issues regarding the use of ASB funds. Attend a session to learn more about how a school or district can handle ASB funds and stay in compliance with rules, policies and procedures for public money generated in the students’ interest. Watch for upcoming dates.

Developing Your Finely Tuned Machine!

Personalized Finance Workshops

ASB is unique because the law requires students and staff to collaborate on using the use of these funds for extra-curricular activities. Included in the workshop are strategies and helpful hints on how students and the adults might handle ASB funds and stay in compliance with all the regulatory agencies that have an interest in these public funds designated for students' use. The best part is we can discuss “your” way of conducting business! And we all have our booster/PTO/parent support groups that have a whole different set of rules. We are here to assist you and your team.

Let us come to you. AWSP/AWSL offers individual sessions for schools/districts. Save money and bring more people. Save time on the road. Find the time that works for your team instead of trying to get people to another location. Let us help dive into YOUR district’s procedures and practices instead of the more general answers. We are here for you! Facilitation by Association of Washington School Principals/Association of Washington Student Leaders

We offer workshops for any/all of the following

  • Staff 

  • Students

House Bill 1660 Information

Under HB 1660, which went into effect on June 11, 2020, school districts who charge a fee for attendance at or participation in any optional, noncredit extracurricular event must adopt a policy for waiving all fees for students who are low income. The policy and regulations must also include how the district will reduce fees for students’ family members and nonstudents over the age of 65, who by reason of their low income, may be unable to pay the fees to attend or participate in any optional noncredit extracurricular district event which is of a cultural, social, recreational, or athletic nature.  

The process for charging and collecting Associated Student Body (ASB) card fees, school-based athletic program fees, optional noncredit school club fees, and other fees from students in grades 9–12 must be the same for all students, regardless of their free or reduced-price lunch (FRPL) eligibility. The fee waivers must be automatically applied, where applicable.

Our friends at WASBO have done a brilliant job of piecing together information regarding this bill. Information can be found HERE
