All gifts shall be accepted in the name of the school district and become the property of the school district, but may be designated for use in a particular school or department. The MSAD #11 School Board will officially acknowledge the gifts at a MSAD #11 School Board meeting and thank the donors in writing.

Only items of legitimate use in the school program shall be accepted. The MSAD #11 School Board is under no obligation to replace a gift if it is destroyed, lost, stolen or becomes worn out. Gifts will not be accepted if they involve an excessive cost for maintenance or installation.
