INSTRUCTIONAL TELEVISION

The District provides through a contract with Whittle Communications the opportunity for students in grades 7-12 to view a 12-minute educational program on current events and news items, two minutes of which contain commercial advertising. A parent who prefers that his or her child not view any commercial broadcast at school should notify the principal. An appropriate alternative supervised assignment will be made for the student. 

INSURANCE

At the beginning of the school year, the District will make available a low-cost student accident insurance program. Parents are responsible for paying premiums (if coverage is desired) and for submitting claims through the business office. The District will not be responsible for the costs of treating injuries or assume liability for any other costs associated with an injury. Before participating in a school-sponsored trip outside the District or in school-sponsored athletics, students and parents must have (1) purchased the student accident insurance, (2) shown proof of insurance, or (3) signed a form rejecting the insurance offer.

JURISDICTION

The District has authority and control over its students during the regular school day and while going to and from school on District transportation. This jurisdiction includes any activity during the school day on school grounds, attendance at any school-related activity, regardless of time or location, and any school-related misconduct, regardless of time or location.

The District’s rules of student conduct apply to all school-sponsored and school-related activities, on or off campus. Students who violate these rules will be subject to disciplinary action.
