Baltimore County Board of Education has made a blanket policy to not grant permits to Recreation Councils,Booster Clubs,PTA's and other non-profit community organizations for funraisers at school facilities.Included are basket bingo's , raffles ,Quarter auctions . These organizations are ran by volunteers within the communities which they are supporting.They recieve NO government fundings,therefore,they rely on donations and fundraising .With out the ability to utilize the school facilities with ultimately gain benefits from these organizations these much needed community/school organizations /programs will parrish. Please help us to let Baltimore County Board of Education  know that we do not support thier decision to block responsible non-profit organizations from using the facilities that our tax dollars support!

We the undersigned would like for the Baltimore County Board of Education to support our community non-profit organizations .We believe that the policy to disallow fundraising ,ie,raffles ,basket bingo's, flea markets/craft fairs ,quarter auctions and such events is unfair.We feel that fundraising in school facilities should be allowed . This will permit us to continue our non profit programs.We would like your board to support our children and communities.
