Funds contributed or generated solely by members of the school's faculty should be utilized or expended at the faculty's discretion.

If funds are received from teachers or other employees as contributions to a "Flower Fund" or break-room fund, those funds would be categorized and accounted for as an agency fund (Fund 877). The "Sunshine" or "Flower Fund" can be used to purchase flowers for ill staff members, flowers for decorations at an event, employee recognition awards, etc.

If the campus faculty/staff make the decision to establish a separate bank account for their Sunshine or Flower fund, only personal funds contributed by faculty and staff members shall be used to establish and maintain the account.  Irving ISD and/or the school’s name and address shall not be used on the bank account, checks, debit card, etc.  In addition, Irving ISD’s tax identification number must not be used to establish the account or make purchases with funds in the account.  The school’s secretary and/or cashier shall not have any financial responsibilities relating to this account, i.e., signing checks, collecting dues, making deposits, etc. District funds and revenue from vending machines located at the school must not be deposited into this account.

All revenue from vending machines located in the teacher's lounge or other area inaccessible to students may be accounted for as Teacher Vending (Level II code 916) in the Campus Activity Fund (Fund 192).

1. If high school teachers/staff also use vending machines in areas accessible to students, a portion of the revenue, not exceeding 40% may be deposited to Teacher Vending (Level II, Code 916) in the school’s Campus Activity Fund account.  The remaining revenue should be deposited to Level II Code 955. The allocation must be a reasonable estimation of teacher and student usage of the machines.

2. All revenue for machines located at middle and elementary schools should be deposited to Teacher Vending (Level II, Code 916).
