DEVELOPMENT PROGRAM

As a private, Catholic, secondary school, Teurlings Catholic High School receives no funds from the Diocese of Lafayette but operates on tuition, donated services and gifts from benefactors.  Fund interest in the Teurlings Catholic Foundation, a nonprofit corporation, are available to the school to handle pressing needs as diverse as providing tuition assistance for needy students, supplement teacher salaries, and making physical improvements to the school.

Although tuition is the primary source of funding for the daily operation of Teurlings Catholic, it is the financial support of alumnae, present and former parents and grandparents, and other friends that strengthen Teurlings Catholic for today’s students and those yet to come.

Rationale:

 

It is the responsibility of the Development Office to coordinate all fund raising efforts. So that efficient records may be maintained and the donor is properly acknowledged, a policy for solicitation is necessary. Prior to any fund raising transactions, all persons and organizations that solicit in the name of Teurlings Catholic High School must complete a fund raising project proposal and receive approval from the Director of Development. The Director of Development and Principal reserve the right to limit or refuse a proposed solicitation.

 

Policy:

 

The Teurlings Catholic High School Solicitation Policy is as follows:

1. No individual or business is to be solicited without the concurrence of the Development Office.

2. Solicited funds must be targeted to a specific project or event that has received the prior approval of the Director of Development and Principal.

3. Restricted donations must be applied to the area or project specified by the donor unless the donor is contacted by the Director of Development and such permission is granted.

4. Under no circumstances may the solicitor promise or guarantee any specific returns or favors for the donor's contribution.

5. All donors should receive a written acknowledgment for the contribution from solicitor within fifteen (15) days of receipt. A copy of the letter/note must be filed in the Development Office on the day that it is mailed.

Louisiana Department of Education Complaint Procedures For the Elementary and Secondary Education Act of 1965

 

If the Lafayette Parish School System Title I Program is not providing services in accordance with state and federal regulations, a parent may file a complaint in accordance with The Louisiana Handbook for School Administrators, Bulletin 741, Section 349, which is available online at the following website address: http:/www.doa.louisiana.gov/osr/lac/28v115/28v115.doc .  Parents may also request a copy of this bulletin by calling the Department’s toll-free number 1-877-453-2721. This bulletin contains detailed procedures established for resolving complaints filed against the Department of Education or a local education agency pursuant to provisions of the Elementary and Secondary Education Act of 1965, 20 U.S.C.  §6301, et. seq. (ESEA).

 

Summarized from the above handbook, complaints to the Louisiana department of Education must (1) be in writing and (2) describe a violation of the law or a violation of federal statutes or regulations.

The written complaint must include:
