Following an investigation by two students at Canyon Crest Academy, the San Dieguito Union High School District in California is drafting new regulations for its high school foundations. These foundations, which operate independently and generate millions in donations, have lacked district oversight. A report revealed that 25% of funds intended for student clubs were redirected to the general fund, and the executive director’s salary was not reported on tax filings. In response, the district is finalizing a memorandum of understanding to enhance transparency and accountability, with new guidelines expected to be implemented by the 2026-27 academic year.
