The Board 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.

Any new parent organization desiring to use the name or good offices of the District must obtain the approval of the Superintendent 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 District.

The Board relies upon approved organizations to operate in a manner consistent with public expectations for the schools and reserves the right to withdraw sponsorship from organizations that violate the bounds of community taste.

Further, parent organizations shall comply with the rules and procedures set forth in Policy 9211 - District Support Organizations.
