9160 - PUBLIC ATTENDANCE AT SCHOOL EVENTS
The Board of Education welcomes the attendance of members of the community at athletic and other public events held by the schools in the District, but the Board also acknowledges its duty to maintain order and preserve the facilities of the District during the conduct of such events.
The Board directs that no alcoholic beverage or other controlled substance be possessed, consumed, or distributed nor any betting occur at any function sponsored by the District and/or at any function occurring on District premises.
Raffles and similar forms of fund-raising by District-related organizations may be permitted by the Superintendent in accordance with Policy 9211 - District Support Organizations and Policy 9700 - Relations with Special Interest Groups.
The Board holds the legal authority to bar the attendance of or remove any person whose conduct may constitute a disruption at a school event. School administrators have the authority to call law enforcement officials if a person violates posted regulations or does not leave school property when requested. They are also authorized to use detectors and other devices to better ensure the safety and well-being of participants and visitors.
If a student or adult is asked to leave or is removed from a school event, no admission fees shall be refunded.
Only service animals used by persons requiring this type of assistance shall be permitted in all District facilities and at all school events. The person may be asked to provide evidence of the animal's certification for that purpose.
Any person or organization seeking to film students or a school activity which is not a public event shall obtain prior permission from the Superintendent.
The Superintendent shall ensure that all notices, signs, schedules, and other communications about school events contain the following statement:
"Upon request to the Superintendent the District shall make reasonable accommodation for person(s) with disabilities to be able to participate in this activity."
