There will be no solicitation of students or staff within the schools for commercial purposes, except as provided in school board policy 9.40.
I. Principals will not permit sales representatives to contact teachers or students on school campuses or post any advertising material. Exceptions are those company agents who have authorization from the Superintendent or designee to exhibit or explain to staff instructional materials, employee benefits, or other school supplies and equipment, or to exhibit or explain to student groups arrangements for photographs, graduation caps and gowns and other graduation items; and agents who are cooperating in school or student fund-raising activities.
II. No person or organization will solicit funds from school personnel or otherwise engage in the interest of any outside group, organization, or association on school premises except those organizations which serve the professional interest of the school personnel, student body, or which have specific approval from the Superintendent or his/her designee. The prohibition from engaging in the interest of an outside group shall not apply to groups using a school board facility pursuant to a Facility Use Agreement.
III. Employees will not canvass parents of students attending the school in which they teach for the purpose of selling instructional materials or materials related to any educational program.
