4.51 Student Publications

Student publications including, but not limited to, student newspapers, literary magazines, and yearbooks, are school-sponsored, curriculum related publications. These publications provide opportunities for students to learn and demonstrate academic, managerial, organizational, and creative skills, and are intended to be distributed solely to students at school and individuals within the school community.

I. Student publications shall be produced under the supervision of a faculty advisor. The school principal shall retain full editorial control over the style and content of all student publications and may remove content that does not reasonably serve the pedagogical interests of the school including that which he/she determines is inconsistent with age-appropriate learning experience for student writers, editors, and readers.

II. Advertisements may be sold to support the cost of a student publication. The principal shall not allow advertising copy which promotes or contains references to alcohol, tobacco, or other electronic cigarette product, drugs, drug paraphernalia, weapons, or lewd, vulgar, obscene, pornographic or illegal materials or activities, gambling, violence, hatred, sexual conduct or sexually explicit material, movies rated stronger than PG- 13, gambling aids, or any other copy which is inconsistent with school objectives.
