904.2 ADVERTISING AND PROMOTION

The use of students, the school district name, or its buildings and sites for advertising and promoting products and/or services of entities and organizations operating for a profit is not allowed except with prior board approval. Nonprofit entities and organizations may be allowed to use students, the school district name, or its buildings and sites if the purpose is educationally related and prior approval has been obtained from the board.

Educational  facilities,  teachers,  and students  shall not be used in any manner  for the promotions  of sales of services  or products  or agencies  or organizations  operating  for profit.  The Board of Directors  specifically  forbids such activities  as the following:

1.   Distribution  by students  of pamphlets  urging  students,  parents  and others to purchase  services  or products  sold for profit.

2.   The sale by students  or teachers  of products  and/or services,  except in relation  to production  by students  and/or items approved  by the principal.

3.   Similar activities which would involve the teachers and students and which would interfere  with the normal  time and activities  of the school.

4.   Employees  shall not participate  in any incentive  program  that leads to personal  gain. When the Board of Directors  and the Superintendent   of Schools  feels that the educational  gain outweighs any promotional purpose, prior approval can be given by the Board to an activity.
