Back to Board Policies

School facilities, staff, and students shall not be utilized in any manner for advertising or otherwise promoting on school property any commercial, political, personal or non-school agency, individual or organization, except as approved by the Superintendent or his/her designee.

The Superintendent is authorized to issue a list of suggested vendors who meet District-prescribed standards (e.g., for photographs or musical instruments), while allowing parents to make their own arrangements on any terms they wish, where the arrangement does not involve the use of school personnel.

The solicitation of orders for and the sale of class rings, school photographs, and yearbooks on school premises are permissible. All prospective vendors shall be given full and equal opportunity to compete, and students shall be fully involved in the process of choosing the vendor where appropriate.

Nothing in this policy shall be construed to limit the authority of the Board under law to authorize the broadcast of high school games and other events by radio and TV stations even though the broadcast is commercially sponsored.

No solicitor, salesman or agent shall come into any District building or upon any school property without the prior approval of the Building Administrator.
