ASB Badge #10 - Student Involvement-ASB Badge #10 Recording

Video Transcription

Video Summary

Badge 10 of WASBO’s ASB Certification covers student involvement requirements and the legal framework governing Associated Student Body (ASB) funds in Washington. It distinguishes RCWs (laws) from WACs (administrative rules that implement the laws) and highlights key references: RCW 28A.325 and WAC 392-138. ASB is a formal student organization (primarily grades 7–12), but elementary fundraising that functions like ASB must follow the same rules; in elementary settings, the principal serves as the ASB authority.<br /><br />The training defines ASB “public money” as fees tied to optional, non-credit extracurricular events that fit “CARS” (Cultural, Athletic, Recreational, Social). It emphasizes required student involvement—documented with evidence such as minutes—in budgets, club constitutions, private money collection, constitutions/bylaws, disbursements, elections, fundraising, and transfers. ASB budgets are required and typically begin mid-March. Formally recognized clubs must have constitutions, advisors, officers, and recorded minutes.<br /><br />It also explains “non-ASB private money” fundraising (often tracked in 6000 series accounts). Finally, it outlines student council authority levels and warns against “gifts of public funds”: no cash or gift certificates; only nominal-value or retained items may be allowed under board policy.
