903.05 - Distribution of Materials

The board recognizes that students, employees, parents or citizens may want to distribute materials within the school district that are non curricular. Non Curricular materials to be distributed must be approved by the building principal and meet certain standards prior to their distribution.

It is the responsibility of the superintendent, in conjunction with the building principals to draft administrative regulations regarding this policy. 

This is a mandatory policy.
