5730 - EQUAL ACCESS FOR NONDISTRICT-SPONSORED, STUDENT CLUBS AND ACTIVITIES

The Board of Education will generally not permit the use of school facilities by nondistrict-sponsored student clubs and activities or District-sponsored, extra-curricular clubs and activities during instructional hours, unless the activity will not interfere with instructional time for participating students. During noninstructional time, however, no group of students, regardless of the size of the group, will be denied an opportunity to meet on the basis of the religious, political, philosophical, or other content of the activity.

A student-initiated group granted permission to meet on school premises shall be provided the same rights and access and shall be subject to the same administrative guidelines that govern the meetings of student organizations sponsored by this Board, except as provided by this policy. Participation in a student-initiated meeting must be available to all students who wish to attend and cannot be denied on the basis of a student's race; creed; color; pregnancy; marital or parental status; religion; age; gender or gender orientation; physical, mental, emotional, or learning disability; national origin; ancestry; or social or economic status.
