PUBLIC PERFORMANCES AND EXHIBITIONS

While the Board of Education encourages the presentation of performances and exhibitions displaying the talents and accomplishments of Morris School District pupils, it directs the administration to consider carefully the effects on instructional time of any such proposed activity.

Directors of activities shall:
  1. Maintain high standards of performance and conduct in all programs;

  2. Review all program materials and offerings in advance of scheduling to determine sound educational value;

  3. Give careful consideration to possibly controversial presentations;

  4. Make an effort to increase pupil involvement in planning and make greater use of community resources as opposed to paid professional performances;

  5. Obtain prior approval from the appropriate administrator for all public performances of pupils.
When a performance is requested by an organization not connected with the schools, the organization shall be asked to pay all expenses.

The board shall have final approval on all out-of-district performances.
