Red Wing Public Schools
Distribution of Materials and Information to Students
 
The Red Wing Public Schools recognize the role of school district based and non-profit organizations that serve youth.  In order to balance the interests of the schools and other youth-serving organizations:
  1.  All requests for distribution of materials (flyers, brochures, etc.) will be handled via a centralized system in the Community Education Department.  Individual schools, principals, school staff, etc. will not process requests.
  2. Requests from for-profit organizations will not be accepted.
  3. Requests will be reviewed on the basis of Red Wing Public School’s Board Policy 904:  Distribution of Materials on School District Property by Non-school Persons.  This document is available at www.rwps.org
  4. Organizations will not be allowed to set up a table at Red Wing Public School open houses. Materials will be distributed by the Community Education office at district open houses. Organizations must request approval from Community Education of materials to be distributed in advance and copies provided for distribution.
  5. District 256 retains the right to permit access for its own programs and for those of an individual school or school group such as the Parent Teacher Organization or Red Wing Public School Foundation.
Materials will be distributed once a month at Colvill, Sunnyside, Twin Bluff and Burnside Schools. Red Wing High School materials will available in the display rack located at the school.
