IJM ©SPECIAL - INTEREST MATERIALS SELECTION AND ADOPTION
IJM ©Commercial organizations offer a variety of materials for use by teachers in the classroom. Many of these materials are of high educational value, with little or no advertising emphasis. Other materials are primarily advertising and have only limited educational value.
In general, supplementary materials (printed materials, models, films, slides, pictures, charts, exhibits for educational purposes, etc.) from commercial, political, religious, or other nonschool sources should have approval by the principal. This approval may be given to materials that are of obvious educational quality, supplement and enrich text and reference book materials, are timely and up to date, and promote American democratic ideals and moral values.
Students may not be used as the agents for distributing nonschool materials unless prior approval has been given by the Superintendent.
