Overview
School Support Organizations

The School Support Organization Financial Accountability Act, or Public Chapter 326 (SSOFAA), was passed in May 2007 by the General Assembly of the State of Tennessee. As such, the law legitimized school support organizations and established accountability measures for the collecting and accounting of funds that were intended to benefit schools and students.

As part of compliance with the law, Shelby County Schools adopted a Board Policy to establish our rules and regulations over these organizations. This Policy #7015.2 was approved by the Board of Education on June 12, 2008.

Also, the Comptroller of the Treasury, Division of Municipal Audit, has a website that has provided an invaluable resource for anyone with questions pertaining to these organizations and compliance with the law.
