Distribution of Materials for Outside Groups (505 & 904)
The school district recognizes that students and employees have the right to express themselves on school property. This protection includes distributing nonschool-sponsored material, subject to school district regulations and procedures, at a reasonable time and place and in a reasonable manner. Any student or employee wishing to distribute (as defined in policy 505) non-school sponsored material must first submit for approval a copy of the material to the building principal who will review the request and render a decision. For detailed information, see the complete “Distribution of Nonschool-Sponsored Materials on School Premises by Students and Employees” policy 505 on the district’s website.
For nonschool persons and organizations, the school district provides for distribution of materials appropriate to the school setting by nonstaff and nonstudents on school district property in a reasonable time, place, and manner which does not disrupt the educational program nor interfere with the educational objectives of the school district (as defined in policy 904) . Permission for nonschool persons to distribute materials on school district property is a privilege and not a right. Any nonschool person wishing to distribute materials must first submit for approval a copy of the materials to the administration at least five days in advance of desired distribution time The administration will review the request and render a decision.
