Other than regularly approved educational materials required in classroom instruction and notices to parents/guardians relative to attendance, courses, grades, discipline of students, and other school-related purposes and activities, no items can be distributed by the instructional or administrative staff without the prior approval of the Assistant Superintendent for Curriculum and Instruction or designee.
No commercial brochures and/or advertisements, except those directly related to school-sponsored activities and functions or those from approved school-related organizations will be given direct distribution through students. All such materials will require the prior approval of the Assistant Superintendent for Curriculum and Instruction or designee.
In those cases where there are informational bulletins or publications which involve non-profit functions or activities or matters which are in the public interest, the principal may, in consultation with the Assistant Superintendent for Curriculum and Instruction or designee, make the materials available as long as such materials are neutral and do not advocate for or against any individual, the budget, other referenda, or issue before the Board. The Assistant Superintendent for Curriculum and Instruction will make the final judgment in all such matters.
Those groups wishing to distribute materials must provide enough materials to be handed out as the District will not be responsible for printing or copying them.
No information or materials may be distributed to students on school buses.
Any postings must be removed by the organizers within three school days of the conclusion of the event.
