5880 - PUBLIC PERFORMANCES BY STUDENTS

Public performances by students are encouraged when such performances contribute to the educational process and objectives of that particular class and when they do not interfere with other scheduled activities within the school. The following guidelines shall be observed in determining permission for public performances:

 A.Program requests shall not make excessive demands on student time. (Preparation or rehearsal time, as well as actual performance time, must be considered.)
 B.Public performances by high school groups shall be in keeping with the policies of the North Central Association.
 C.The extended use of one (1) particular group shall be discouraged.

 D.Requests from groups promoting private interests shall not be honored.
 E.Consideration shall be given to whether a public performance disrupts the usual program of studies.
 F.Since music groups, more than any other, are called upon for public performances, the following types of performances are listed as being descriptive of sound educational experiences for participants and in the best interests of students and the school system:
  1.Performances for groups which are interested in hearing the results of a music educational program.
  2.Performances in the interest of the schools and general public.
  3.Performances, of interest to the general public, for groups sponsoring audio-visual programs.
  4.Performances for groups sponsoring local, State, National, or patriotic events for the benefit of the general public.
  5.Performances for worthy programs.
 G.All performances involving the use of students shall be approved by the building principal. In cases where participation is a highly debatable matter, the Superintendent shall give final approval.
 H.No charges shall be made for performances outside the school. Should expenses be incurred for a special type of performance, the sponsoring group would be expected to bear them. Donations to the department providing the performance are acceptable.
