5. What are the requirements to start a new club at Faria? Student club policy from the California Code of Regulations states that schools are not required to provide extracurricular activities, but when they do, the extra curricular activities must be supervised by CUSD certificated employees. Although FEEF is a separate organization, it is a foundation that supports school to provide all round education for the kids. Therefore, clubs conducted by FEEF come under this regulation. All clubs conducted by FEEF must have a teacher associated with the club who oversees the operation of the club. Teachers have about 25 hours per year of adjunct duty in their contract, which essentially means they can support various non-direct-instruction related activities up to 25 hours per year without additional compensation. Teachers use this time for many things, including maintaining grade level websites, attending FEEF and SSC meetings, ensuring Faria philosophy adapts to the changing times, etc. They have to use the remaining adjunct duty hours to support these clubs. Another restriction is that public schools are supposed to provide free education to all of their students. According to CUSD rules, no activity that requires a payment from parents can be endorsed by district and school (Since public schools are free). Since FEEF is associated with the school, FEEF also cannot conduct such activities. Programs that fall under this restriction are Math Kangaroo, Destination Imagination, etc since they require parents to pay a fee to participate. The only way we can get around this restriction is if FEEF paid the registration fee for all students who wanted to participate in such events. This will require either an increase in donation from parents or at least >95% participation for direct donation.
