Failure to act within the three-day period shall be interpreted as disapproval. 17 The FMA extended to parents and community members through the PISD's policy GKA (LOCAL), which applied the same standards to distribution by these individuals on school property. It provides in relevant part: 18 Duplicated, written, or printed materials, handbills, photographs, pictures, films, tapes, or other visual or auditory materials shall not be sold, circulated, or distributed by persons or groups not associated with the school, on any school premises in the District, unless they have received permission in accordance with FMA (LOCAL). 19 Neither Kirke nor Johnson submitted their materials for approval under the PISD's prior review scheme. Davis and Criswell claim that they were enforcing school policy when they instructed Kirke and Johnson to halt their expressive activities because Kirke and Johnson had not complied with the speech policies.
