What this document actually says
This policy, last revised September 13, 2022, establishes standards for advertisements and promotions from non-school groups in school publications, websites, social media, and on school property. The Superintendent can approve both noncommercial materials (community events, services) and commercial advertisements (paid ads on athletic fields, scoreboards, school publications) if they meet specific criteria. Materials must not be obscene, promote illegal activities, contain political campaigning or religious proselytizing, discriminate against groups, advertise unhealthy foods during school day, or solicit unauthorized funds. All materials must identify the sponsoring organization and include disclaimers stating the district doesn't endorse the products or services. The policy aims to promote positive community relationships while protecting students from inappropriate content and maintaining school focus on education.
What this means for your family
This policy controls what advertisements and promotional materials your child sees at school, including flyers brought home, ads in yearbooks, and sponsor logos on athletic fields. It ensures commercial messages meet educational standards and don't promote harmful products like tobacco or junk food during school hours. Community groups can still share information about local events and activities relevant to families.
