students sharing their talents and skills with the community through participation and performances in public
events.
General Guidelines

the District at local events as an integral part of the instructional program shall submit the plan to the

to the Superintendent by the principal in accord with AG 2340C.
The request for local performances should include the information requested on the Field Trip Request Form.

shall be informed in advance of the obligation to participate and will be excused from participation only in
accordance with the rules and administrative guidelines governing school attendance.

performance in public of students organized for a school activity but may collect a donation to an approved
student activity fund.
D. All non-district performances shall be under the supervision of the professional staff of the District.
