My Request was Approved - What Do I Do Now?
It is the responsibility of the applicant to:
- Contact schools directly about providing the incentive.
- Provide a copy of the approval letter to schools.
- Abide by the incentive guidelines and approval stipulations.
- Provide copies of the approved incentive flyers/coupons.
Schools will not make copies or collate for the applicant. It is solely the responsibility of the applicant to print copies and provide them to the schools.
My Request was Denied - What Do I Do Now?
All requests are reviewed on an individual basis. The reason for denial will be explained in your response letter. Broward County Public Schools reserves the right to deny any request to participate in an incentive program. Therefore, there is no appeal process. All determinations made by the committee are final.
Typical reasons for denial of an incentive include (but are not limited to):
- Incentive program/coupon does not meet guidelines.
- Incentive is not equally accessible to all students (i.e. The number of eligible students exceeds the number of rewards, there is a condition of purchase associated with the incentive, etc.)
Renewals - How do I get the Same Incentive Approved Next Year?
- All incentive approvals have an expiration date. The approved incentive can be submitted to schools anytime before the expiration date.
- Once the approval has expired you must submit a renewal application to the screening committee.
- Allow 2 weeks for the renewal request.
Please Be Advised:
Incentive rewards must be COMPLETELY FREE without any condition of purchase. “Buy one, get one free” and “percentage off” coupons will not be approved. All incentives must be appropriate and relevant to students.
