The Board of Directors (Board) recognizes that worthy and appropriate educational values accrue from student participation in civic and community affairs. As such, the Board endorses public performances by students when such performances contribute to the educational processes and objectives of the school, and when it does not unduly interfere with the student program.
- All such performances shall be approved by the supervising administrator.
- The extended use of one particular group should be discouraged.
- Extensive travel by a particular group should be discouraged.
- Student groups below the senior high level should engage in only limited activity.
- Generally, public performances shall not be allowed at places where drugs and alcohol or other mood altering substances are available. Exceptions may be granted by the building administrator for local groups/activities such as service club banquets, Chamber of Commerce banquets. etc.
It is within the discretion of the superintendent to determine whether the event will benefit the education program and the participating students. Contests or other performances by students unapproved by the superintendent are the responsibility of the parent and the student.
