The instructional programs within the schools can be enhanced by the use of community resources. These may include printed materials, persons living in or visiting the community, organizations, businesses, and manufacturing establishments. Whenever community resources are used, they shall contribute to the School District's instructional program.
Commercial organizations offer many materials for use by teachers in the classroom.
Some of these materials are of legitimate educational value with little or no advertising emphasis. Other materials are primarily advertising and have only limited educational value. In general, supplementary printed materials from commercial, political, religious, or other non-school sources should have the approval of the Superintendent or designee before being used by the District. Principals may approve the use of materials from non-school sources for individual classrooms. Such materials may bear the name of a commercial business firm which may have provided the aid.
