5880 - OUT-OF-SCHOOL PERFORMANCES BY STUDENTS

The Board of Education recognizes the value to students of sharing their talents and skills with the community through participation and performances in out-of-school events.

The Board endorses such performances when:

	A.	they constitute a learning experience which contributes to the educational program;
	B.	the circumstances of the event do not pose a threat to the health, safety, and well-being of the students who will be involved.

All requests for out-of-school performances by students require the approval of the Superintendent.

The Superintendent shall develop administrative guidelines to implement this policy which require that:

	A.	all requests for out-of-school performances by student groups shall be presented for approval;
	B.	parental permission is sought and received before students participate;
	C.	when out-of-school performances are scheduled as a regular part of a course of study taken for credit, students shall be informed in advance of the obligation to participate and will be excused from participation only in accordance with the rules and administrative guidelines governing school attendance;
	D.	when a request for out-of-school performance is not part of the regular program, all students who are members of the group invited to perform are polled for their willingness to do so and no request for a performance be granted unless the faculty advisor believes a sufficient number will participate to represent the school fairly and will acquire a valuable learning experience;
	E.	no student, group of students, or employees of this Board may receive personal compensation for the performance in out-of-school of students organized for a school activity but may collect a donation to an approved student activity fund;
	F.	the interests of our students be protected and guarded against exploitation.
