Purpose
The Board recognizes the value to students of sharing their talents
and skills with the community through student participation and performances
in public events. Authority
The Board endorses such performances when:
- they constitute a learning experience which contributes to the educational
program,
- they do not interfere with other scheduled activities of the school,
- the circumstances of the event do not pose a threat to the health,
safety and well-being of the students who will be involved.
All requests for public performances by student groups require the approval
of the Superintendent or designee who shall report such requests to the
Board.
Delegation of Responsibility
The Superintendent or designee shall develop procedures to implement
this policy which require that:
- parental/guardian permission is sought and received before students
may participate,
- no student is compelled to participate in a public performance or
penalized in any way for failure to do so,
- all students who are members of the group invited to perform are polled
for their willingness to do so and that no request for a performance
be granted unless the faculty advisor believes that a sufficient
number will participate to represent the school family and to acquire
a valuable learning experience,
- the interest of students are protected and guarded against exploitation.
