Section: Programs
Title: Instructional Supplies and Equipment
Date Adopted: August 14, 1978
Date Reviewed: June 30, 2003

Purpose 
It shall be the policy of the Board to supply the teaching staff and students with the supplies and equipment that are deemed necessary for the implementation of the approved program. 

Exceptions to this policy shall be:

  1. Where individualized and non-reusable clothing or equipment is required for reasons of safety or health, students will be requested to provide their own clothing or equipment which shall meet standards set by the school.  Such standards shall be those reasonably related to the consideration of safety, health and protection of property and/or students.
  2. Where students prepare useful items which they are permitted to keep, they shall pay the district the cost of the materials used. 

Responsibility
Where the foregoing requirements impose a financial hardship on a student, the School District will assume the cost after appropriate investigation.  The Superintendent shall devise procedures assuring that no student need be denied participation in the school program for financial reasons, while at the same time guarding the privacy of each student. 

The Board may require that students provide certain supplies for their participation in co-curricular activities. 

Parents may exercise their right to review instructional supplies and equipment by directing a written request to their child's building principal, who will then coordinate a scheduled appointment to fulfill that request.
