597 CONTESTS FOR STUDENTS

I. The decision of administrators whether students will be encouraged to enter national or state contests or competitions shall be guided by the recommendations of state and national associations of principals.

II. Following the careful investigation of the purpose and merits of the competition, a school may participate in a proposed local contest with the approval of the school principal and the superintendent. The administration must be assured of the value of the contest to students and shall refuse to consider contests designed largely for promotional purposes. All proposed rules and regulations shall be checked carefully.

III. When an event is found suitable, announcements shall be posted to give everyone who qualifies as an entrant an opportunity to participate. However, no student may be required to take part in a contest sponsored by an outside organization as part of his or her course.
