PCSD Flyer Central
-
As a community service, the Parma City School District authorizes the dissemination of a promotional material from an outside organization that is intended solely to notify students and their parents of the opportunity to participate in a youth-related program, activity or event that aims to improve the health, education or welfare of students or members of the school community (e.g., students' families, etc.)The PCSD recognizes that many businesses within the boundaries of the district wish to promote positive programs to students who attend any of the Parma Schools. The PCSD also recognizes that local businesses of Parma, Parma Heights and Seven Hills are important stakeholders in our community.Please carefully read the guidelines below for flyers, as our district procedures and guidelines have changed.

PCSD FLYER DISTRIBUTION BOARD POLICY
Board of Education Policy 9700
It is the policy of the Board of Education that students, staff members, and District facilities not be used for promoting the interests of any non-school agency or organization, public or private, without the approval of the Board or its designee; and any such approval, granted for whatever cause or group, shall not be construed as an endorsement of said cause or group by this Board.
Any request from civic institutions, charitable organizations, or special interest groups which involve such activities as patriotic functions, contests, exhibits, sales of products to and by students, sending promotional materials home with students, graduation prizes, fundraising, and free teaching materials must be carefully reviewed to ensure that such activities promote student interests without advancing the special interests of any particular group.
