Advertising Guidelines

Ad content must comply with Peoria Unified’s Advertising Policy KHB and KHB-R.

The district and its schools will not allow advertisements that would:

• Cause the district to violate and/or conflict with state or federal laws or its Board policies, regulations and code of conduct such as the use of drugs, alcohol, weapons and harassment.
• Violate and/or conflict with student wellness policies and practices.
• Promote illegal discrimination on the basis of gender, race, religion, national original, ethnicity, sexual orientation and/or disability.
• Promote businesses and educational institutions which compete with the same services found within the organizations of Peoria Unified School district.
• Promote illegal activity or inappropriate behavior of minors.
• Contain words, symbols or images that would be regarded as lewd, obscene, vulgar, or plainly offensive if communicated by an employee or student on school grounds.
• Defame a person or organization.
• Threaten serious disruption of a school or school-sponsored activity.
• Promote, oppose or proselytize any political organization or religion.  Advertisements that refer to a religious affiliation, figure or event shall not be authorized.  This does not supersede any facility rental agreement where a religious organization is permitted to place signage in accordance with that agreement.
• Promote the nomination, retention or election of any person to public office.
• Promote any federal, state or local ballot issue, ballot question or matter that is or may be at issue in a public election.  Advertising shall not reference or be related to political figures, elections, or issues.

This list is not all inclusive.  The district reserves the right to refuse advertising that would otherwise be inappropriate.
