Flyer Guidelines

Policy Purpose: 
Any requests from nonschool organizations, groups or individuals seeking to have students participate in or be informed of the opportunity to participate in nonschool-sponsored activities shall be governed by Policy 913 - Nonschool Organizations/ Groups/ Individuals.

Guidelines:
The Board recognizes the social and educational values that may be derived from student participation in various activities sponsored by nonschool organizations, groups or individuals, but specifies that unreasonable demands on the time and energies of students and staff by such entities during school hours, or at school-sponsored activities be prevented.

  • Requests for student participation in nonschool organizations, groups or individually sponsored activities must be made by way of the online CBB Distribution Request Form to the Superintendent or designee in accordance with administrative procedures, written announcements and this policy.
  • Activities sponsored by nonschool organizations, groups or individuals may not occur, and nonschool written materials may not be used, during instructional time or school-sponsored activities unless they are of educational value to the school program, they benefit district students or the school community, and they are factually accurate. Prohibited activities or materials may never be used (activities and materials which are: libelous, defamatory, obscene, lewd, vulgar, or profane.)
  • Organizations that are housed outside the school district boundaries will be prohibited from distributing materials.
  • Activities sponsored by for-profit groups/organizations are prohibited from distributing materials and advertisements to students.
  • A review of any activities or nonschool written materials under this policy shall not discriminate on the basis of content or viewpoint, except that prohibited activities or materials will be rejected, as will any activities or materials that do not comply with Board policy, administrative procedures, or written announcements relating to the proposed nonschool-sponsored activity or materials.

Fundraising by nonschool organizations, groups or individuals is prohibited on school property or in the name of the school.
