5. Flyers will be automatically submitted to the communications office. Communications staff will        review the material and approve or deny based on the standards below.

f. Flyers must algin with Policy 4060.

6. After posting a flyer on Peachjar, organizations may work with school principals to display a a        printed copy of the flyer in a school office. This is at the discretion of the principal and the              principal will follow the guidelines stated in Board Policy 4060.

7. Per Policy 4060, organizations or groups that wish to distribute information via the district’s             website may contact the Chief Communications Officer with a request for inclusion.

At the discretion of the Superintendent or Designee, information may be included if it:

  • Is directly tied to the district’s adopted curriculum and materials

  • Links to an outside website that provides non-partisan resources for families

Inclusion of a link or information from an outside entity on the district’s webpage does not imply an endorsement of the organization’s activities.
