I find nothing objectionable with such language in the context in which it is presented. We must develop partnerships with our stakeholder groups to support student success. Therefore, I do not find such phrase to constitute partisan advocacy with respect to the district election. It appears from the record that the signs were produced and paid for exclusively by the Greece Teachers Association. The affidavit of the principal of the Brookside Elementary School states that she was not aware that the sign was posted in the window of the elementary school and that she did not consent to its posting.
Respondents disclaim any knowledge of how the sign came to be posted.
The posting of an identical sign in the high school presents a different issue. Respondents contend that the sign was posted by students in the exercise of their free expression rights under the First Amendment of the United State Constitution. The record indicates that the posting of the sign by high school students was permitted under school policy, and there is nothing in the record to establish that the students acted on behalf of or at the request or direction of the district, or that district funds were used in the production or posting of the sign. It provides for improvements in our instructional programs, educational services, and buildings. It is a budget that was developed to respond to changing and enhanced student needs, and a community-wide desire for fiscal responsibility.
