The council conducts transition programs for incoming students and special groups in the school, hosts spirit events, promotes academics, support charities, provides staff appreciation gifts and meals, decorates schools, purchases items needed for instruction, hosts assembly programs with professional speakers, and often “gifts” schools with beautification projects, picnic tables, and murals.  In order to function well, the council needs training that requires sending students and advisors to workshops and conferences.  All of this requires money; and student council is not a school, state, or federally funded program.  Students must raise the money for projects, training, and travel.\nFunding Options for Student Councils\nTASC is led by a board consisting of students, advisors, and principals dedicated to the development of success in the classroom, civic participation, the journey of leadership, and student voice.  They know it takes not only students and advisors who are passionate about improving their schools and communities, it also takes resources to fund projects and to obtain the training that prepares students to become the employees and leaders our businesses and country want and need.  To that end, we endeavor to keep every program as affordable as possible while maintaining a financially strong association.\nThere are a variety of ways you can fund your program.  Before requesting funding, become familiar with the training provided at those events, especially college living at summer workshops, and the TASC State Reports and our articles on how StuCo can help principals.  TASC is not the governing agent of any of these funds.  Advisors can meet with agents of the funds to see if they may be used based on expected learning outcomes.\nAmong others, the \u0013 HYPERLINK \"http://www.mfi.org/display.asp?link=AW46CY\" \u0014Meadows Foundation\u0015 provides grants for community service.  \u0013 HYPERLINK \"http://txsaywhat.com/resources\" \u0014Say What!\u0015 with the Texas School Safety Center provides grants for tobacco education projects.  \u0013 HYPERLINK \"http://www.dairymax.org/\" \u0014Dairy Max\u0015 provides a gift card after certain steps are met.
