SMMUSD Auxiliary Services

They may want to offer private services to groups who need to use the facilities at the school or look to ways to cut costs or raise money for the district without a bake sale or fundraiser, and certainly not a bond.

One program that the school district promotes, where they could make money, they send to Washington DC and give Washington DC the money instead of keeping it for the district.

Public entities does not function like the private sector, but they need to look at cutting some of the fat. If the district would work with the private sector they may produce a better product
