Paid Advertisements

Advertising copy may be solicited to the extent that this process furthers the educational well-being of the students involved and does not interfere with school-community relations.

The district shall not accept advertising copy which:

1.      Is obscene, libelous, or slanderous, or which incites students to commit unlawful acts, violate school rules, or disrupt the school’s orderly operation.
2.      Attacks or denigrates any group on account of sex, race, color, religion, ancestry, national origin, handicap or disadvantage.
3.      Promotes the use or sale of materials or services which are illegal or inconsistent with school objectives.  Ads for tobacco, intoxicants, and x-rated movies or products shall not be used.
4.      Announces the meetings of non-curricular student-initiated groups, unless an open forum has been established for such groups pursuant to federal law.

 The district will not unlawfully discriminate against advertisers who meet the requirements of Board policy and administrative regulations and procedures.
