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 holds the legal authority to bar the attendance of 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.

The Board directs that no alcoholic beverage or other controlled substances be consumed or distributed at any function sponsored by the District 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.

If a student or adult is asked to leave or is removed from a school event, no admission fees shall be refunded.

Guide dogs 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 dog's certification for that purpose.

The Board is aware of the increasing desire of many parents and other members of an audience to use "cam-corders" and other audio/visual devices at school events. The Board authorizes the use of such devices providing their use does not interfere with the conduct of the particular activity, impinge on the enjoyment of the event by other members of the audience, or violate copyright or contract provisions related to a performance. The Superintendent shall establish rules and procedures governing the use on nondistrict audio-visual devices and equipment at any District-sponsored event or activity, particularly athletic events, dramatic presentations, and graduation ceremonies. Such rules are to be posted and/or distributed in such a manner that will best ensure cooperation and compliance in obtaining recordings that do not delay or disrupt the activity.

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 language: "The activity site is fully-accessible. Any person requiring further accommodation should contact the School District's central office."

For any school-related activity at which tickets for admission are sold, the Superintendent is authorized to allocate a certain number of tickets to be available at no charge or at a reduced rate fee for use by Board members, members of the staff, or retired employees of the District.
