Distribution of Materials or Documents

What approval is required before students or others distribute or post materials at school?

School Materials

Publications prepared by and for LTS may be posted or distributed with prior approval by the principal or designee. Such items may include school posters, brochures, murals, etc.

Nonschool Materials

Students must obtain express prior approval of the superintendent or designee before distributing, posting, selling, or circulating written materials, handbills, photographs, pictures, petitions, films, tapes, posters, or other visual or auditory materials on campus.

Nonschool literature shall not be distributed by students on LTS property if

  • the materials are obscene, vulgar, or otherwise inappropriate for the age and maturity of the audience;
  • the materials endorse actions endangering the health or safety of students;
  • the materials promote illegal use of drugs, alcohol, or other controlled substances;
  • the distribution of such materials would violate the intellectual property rights, privacy rights, or other rights of another person;
  • the materials contain defamatory statements about public figures or others;
  • the materials advocate imminent lawless or disruptive action and are likely to incite or produce such action;
  • the materials are hate literature or similar publications that scurrilously attack ethnic, religious, or racial groups or contain content aimed at creating hostility and violence, and the materials would materially and substantially interfere with school activities or the rights of others; or
  • there is reasonable cause to believe that distribution of the nonschool literature would result in material and substantial interference with school activities or the rights of others.

Any student who posts material without prior approval will be subject to disciplinary action in accordance with the Student Code of Conduct. Materials displayed without approval will be removed.

Written or printed materials, handbills, photographs, pictures, films, tapes, or other visual or auditory materials over which LTS does not exercise control shall not be sold, circulated, or distributed by persons or groups not associated with LTS or a school support group on school premises unless the person or group obtains specific prior approval from the superintendent or designee. To be considered, any nonschool material must include the name of the sponsoring organization or individual. The requestor may appeal to the superintendent or designee’s decision in accordance with board policy.
