Principal’s Checkbook

Sponsored by the Summit Federal Credit Union

Annually the Board of Directors designates funds to the Principals’ Checkbook for the purpose of providing help to students in need. Principals have complete access and discretion to spend their checkbook funds. Expenditures in the past have included: winter coats and boots, school supplies, art fees, field trips, graduation fees, cap and gown fees, and senior yearbooks.

The Principal’s Checkbook program provides emergency funds for principals at the five Hilton School District schools. The program gives Hilton’s principals the discretion to use a set amount of funds to help students pay for school supplies and other needs not addressed by the District.
