CASH IN SCHOOL BUILDINGS
The Lafayette Parish School Board shall direct that no cash shall be left overnight on campus unless funds cannot be forwarded in time for that day’s daily deposit. In this case, funds should be stored in a locked safe or locked filing cabinet until the next morning when it should be deposited. Sound business procedure requires principals, teachers, bookkeepers, and any other person in any school handling funds to forward money to the principal's office on the day of collection, to be deposited on the same day of collection, whenever possible, except for small sums needed for petty cash.
Principals and other school personnel shall establish necessary precautions to ensure the safekeeping of all monies under their control, which shall be in compliance with applicable district administrative regulations and procedures.
