The Board shall permit distribution of materials extraneous to the educational aims of the District providing the content of the materials and/or manner of presentation have been approved by the Superintendent and are in full compliance with the following guidelines:

  1. Distribution is for informational purposes only and refrains from persuasion.
  2. Materials are age-appropriate and meet community standards of decency and propriety, as determined by the Superintendent or designee.
  3. Distribution does not relate to a product which is inappropriate for or illegal to minors.
  4. Distribution does not relate to a product or service that would be considered educationally controversial or objectionable to a significant number of parents or other members of the District’s community.
  5. Distribution occurs without loss of or disruption to instructional time, does not involve any direct cost to the District, and does not make unreasonable demands upon the time and energies of District resources, be they physical or human.

  8. Materials approved for direct distribution to students will be distributed by employees of the school district only as part of take-home folders or agenda books that regularly contain materials providing information on both school-sponsored and non-school-related activities and events. In schools where there is no regular packet sent home to families, the building principal will determine the appropriate time, place and manner to distribute approved materials.

The building principal may restrict or prohibit the distribution of non-school-related materials if the time and/or manner of posting disrupts or interferes with school activities.
