Information to Schools
Requests for Advertising or Distribution of Materials to Schools
Many community individuals, groups and other organizations ask the school district and our schools to distribute information to students, parents and employees. The district controls the type and amount of information distributed to schools under OP 149 Advertising, Canvassing and Distribution of Materials in Schools.
Please review this operational procedure and the information below before submitting your request.
- Requests to advertise or distribute materials must be approved by the office of the superintendent.
- Organizations must submit the information that they would like distributed as a PDF file so that it can be reviewed.
- Distribution of materials is limited during "peak" times and cannot displace district business. Therefore, materials will not be distributed in the last week of June, last week of August and the first two weeks of September.
- Even after approval, the decision of whether or not to distribute materials, when to distribute, and which distribution channels are used, ultimately remains with the school in consideration of school business.
- Information distribution is typically sent out every two weeks to schools. Therefore, items should be submitted no less than 30 days prior to your event/deadline date.
Approved Items will Be Sent to Schools: September 16, 2024 February 4, 2025 October 1, 2024 February 19, 2025 October 15, 2024 March 3, 2025 - last date before Spring Break October 29, 2024 April 1, 2025 November 12, 2024 April 14, 2025 November 25, 2024 April 28, 2025 December 9, 2024 - last date before Winter Break May 12, 2025 January 6, 2025 May 26, 2025 January 20, 2025 June 9, 2025 - last date for the 2024-2025 school year. - If the request is for materials to be sent home with students and the request is approved the organization must provide enough copies for the intended distribution, packaged by class and school.
- There will be no distribution over school holidays such as winter break, spring break, or during July/August as schools are not in session.
