The Board of Education supports all organizations of parents whose objectives are to promote the educational experiences of District students. However, in using the name of the District or its schools and in organizing a group whose identity derives from a school(s) of this District, the parental organization thereby shares responsibility with this Board for the welfare of participating students.

Parent organizations desiring to use the name or good offices of the District in organizing students must obtain the approval of the Board as a prerequisite to organizing.

Representatives and members of approved school related organizations shall in all circumstances be treated by District employees as interested friends of the schools and as supporters of public education in the School District.

Staff members are encouraged to join such organization(s) in their related area(s) of specialization or interest.

Any equipment purchased by a parent organization for use in the school or at a District-related event shall be submitted to the Board, prior to purchase, so it can determine if the District would incur any liability by its use.

The Board reserves the right not to accept such liability and thus deny the use of the equipment by students or District employees.
