Advertising
Educational facilities, teachers, and students shall not be used in any manner for the promotion of sale of services or products offered by agencies or organizations that operate for profit. The board of directors specifically forbids the following:
- Distribution by students of pamphlets urging students, parents, and others to purchase services or products sold for profit;
- Sale by students or teachers of products or services, except in relation to production by students as part of the program;
