Students, as part of the education program, may participate in contests or other public and private events approved by the superintendent that will be of benefit to the student and the education program. Performance at such events is a privilege.
Students who fail to abide by this policy may be subject to disciplinary measures. Students who perform at such events serve as ambassadors of the school district and must conduct themselves in the same manner as required during the regular school day.
Students will be allowed to perform in these events only with proper permission and supervision and when the events do not disrupt the education program or other school district operations. The events must be approved by the superintendent, unless it involves unusual travel and expense, in which case the board will take action.
Performances by student groups below the senior high school level should be allowed only on a very limited basis; all groups of students should have an opportunity to participate, and extensive travel by one group of students should be discouraged.
It shall be within the discretion of the superintendent to determine whether the event will benefit the education program and the participating students. Contests or other performances by students unapproved by the superintendent shall be the responsibility of the parent and the student.
