ADVERTISING POLICY GUIDELINES
I.
ADVERTISING GUIDELINES
A. School district communications (central office and/or buildings), including
publications such as programs and calendars, may accept and publish paid
advertising. In no instance shall advertising or advertising images for alcohol,
tobacco, drugs, drug paraphernalia, weapons, or obscene, pornographic or
illegal materials be accepted. Advertisements may be rejected by the school
district if determined to be inconsistent with the educational objectives of the
school district or inappropriate for inclusion in the communication. For example,
advertisements may be rejected if determined to be false, misleading, or
deceptive, or if they relate to an illegal activity or antisocial behavior. The
Superintendent or designee is responsible for screening all advertising in
district publications for adherence to these guidelines.
B. The School Board or Superintendent may approve fixed or permanent
advertising in school district facilities or on school district property. Any
approval will state precisely where such advertising may be placed. Advertising
will not be allowed outside the specific area approved by the School Board or
Superintendent. Specific advertising must be approved by the site administrator
and verified to be in compliance with Section A above.
C. Temporary advertisement banners specific to an individual event that are in
compliance with Section I. A. may be approved by the site administrator.
D. The use of the school district’s name or logo or school logo by a third party
requires the express written permission by the Superintendent or designee.
E. Donations, which include or carry advertisements, must be approved by the
School Board or Superintendent.
F. The school district or a school may acknowledge a donation it has received
from an organization by displaying a “donated by,” “sponsored in part by,” or a
similar byline with the organization’s name and/or symbol on the item.
Examples include activity programs or yearbooks.
G. Commercial and nonprofit entities and organizations may be allowed to use the
school district name, students, or facilities for purposes of advertising or
promotion if the purpose is determined to be educationally related and prior
approval is obtained from the School Board, Superintendent or designee.
Advertising will be limited to the specific event or purpose as approved by the
School Board, Superintendent or designee.
H. Contracts for computers or related equipment or services that require
advertising to be disseminated to students will not be entered into or permitted
unless done pursuant to and in accordance with state law.
