Promoting Events and Activities in èßäapp¹ÙÍø Schools

  • èßäapp¹ÙÍø only allows the distribution of materials for events and activities for students that are either district-sponsored or from a governmental organization. “District-sponsored” means coming from a èßäapp¹ÙÍø central office department, from a èßäapp¹ÙÍø school, from a èßäapp¹ÙÍø school’s foundation, from a èßäapp¹ÙÍø school’s parent-teacher group or from a èßäapp¹ÙÍø school’s booster club. This category also includes organizations that are currently on contract with èßäapp¹ÙÍø. Examples of governmental organizations include the City of èßäapp¹ÙÍø, èßäapp¹ÙÍø Parks & Recreation, Metro, Multnomah County Library, Oregon Zoo and Multnomah Educational Services District. 

    èßäapp¹ÙÍø schools can distribute and display materials for events and activities for students that are from the district or a governmental organization without getting central office approval. Organizations on contract with èßäapp¹ÙÍø must first get central office approval before their materials can be shared with èßäapp¹ÙÍø schools. Governmental organizations and organizations on contract with èßäapp¹ÙÍø must provide their own copies of fliers and posters. Additionally, all approved materials must include the organization's non-discrimination policy/statement. 

    Lawn signs are only allowed for sharing of district information, such as advertising a school-sponsored event or recruiting for èßäapp¹ÙÍø departments. Outside organizations are not allowed to display lawn signs on district property. Parent groups and booster clubs may have lawn signs on school property with principal approval.
