Code: IGDA

Student Organizations (Allows Limited Open Forum)
The district encourages curriculum-related student organizations. District staff will facilitate such organizations and district resources may be used to support them. The district may also support student organizations which are not directly curriculum related.
The building principal will develop general guidelines for student organizations. Among other provisions, such guidelines will require the assignment of at least one staff advisor to each student organization.
Student-initiated clubs which are not curriculum-related may meet on school premises during noninstructional time. If the content of such a club’s meetings is religious in nature, school staff may attend only in a nonparticipatory manner. Staff may be assigned to attend such meetings for custodial purposes only, but will not be compelled to attend a meeting if the content of the speech at the meeting is contrary to that person’s beliefs.
