Jerome Joint School District No. 261

STUDENTS 3240

Student Publications

Student publications produced as part of the school’s curriculum or with the support of student body funds are

intended to serve both as vehicles for instruction and student communications. They are operated and

substantively financed by the student body and the District.

Material appearing in such publications should reflect all areas of student interest, including topics about which

there may be controversy and dissent. Controversial issues may be presented provided they are treated in depth

and represent a variety of viewpoints. Such materials may not be libelous, obscene or profane nor may they cause

a substantial disruption of the school, invade the privacy rights of others, demean any race, religion, gender, or

ethnic group, or advocate the violation of the law. They may not advertise tobacco, liquor, illicit drugs or drug

paraphernalia.

Building administration shall establish procedures for the prompt review of any materials that appear not to

comply with the standards prior to publication.
