RLBC provides parents with a suggested donation amount each year.
The suggested donation amount for 2024-2025 is
$300.00
Why is this so complicated? Why isn't there just one fund?
Answer: Taxes
Your donation to RLBC (a non profit) is tax deductible. Payments to field trips are not.
Paying for Field Trips versus Making a Donation
Paying for Field Trips versus Making a Donation
Payments for field trips are made to the RLBC Field Trip fund, becasue the Rapid Learner Booster Club (RLBC) handles field trip monies on behalf of the RL teachers.
(That's why we have two treasurers!)
RLBC Field Trip Fund:
Payments
The RLBC field trip fund, and field trip treasurer, exist to make everyone's lives easier. The fund collects and distributes money for the grade-specific field trips, so the teachers don't have to be accountants as well as educators.
The field trip fund is where your field trip PAYMENT goes.
How Much?
Your teacher will provide you a breakdown that shows how much each field trip costs. If you need help with the cost, please contact your teacher.
When do I pay for field trips?
As soon as possible-many field trips require deposits which need to be paid months in advance.
Every student goes.
The RLBC general fund provides scholarships for field trips, ensuring that every student can participate
RLBC General Fund:
Donations
The RLBC General fund is used for all the supports and activities of RLBC. RLBC is entirely funded by (tax deductible) donations. We won't ask you to buy wrapping paper or candy, but we do hope you'll donate to support the rapid learner program.
All contributions are voluntary and not required for enrollment in the RL program.
The general fund is where your DONATION goes.
How Much?
$300
The suggested donation for 2024-2025 covers the anticipated cost of everything mentioned below.
*if $300 is too much, any amount helps and is greatly appreciated. No donation is too small (or too large), and remember, your donation is tax deductible!
What is this money used for?
The general fund supports teachers and students by:
Collecting and distributing funds to
Finance supplemental educational enrichment opportunities, such as B-Street theatre and financial literacy workshops
Ensure RL teachers have necessary classroom and curriculum supplies
Purchase curriculum supplements such as Accelerated Reader (AR) licenses
Hosting social events for all RL students and families
Providing Scholarships to ensure all students can participate in field trips
Planning supplemental activities
Supporting the larger DPM community
RLBC's legal organization name is 'G.A.T.E.P.O.S.T" so you may see that on financial documents and pages
