644 Policy: Community Resource Persons

I.       Guest speakers will speak on topics consistent with the general educational goals of the District, the goals and purposes of the curriculum in general, and with the educational goals and objectives of the class(es) which the speaker will address.

II.      Guest speakers will be encouraged to provide information on different sides of issues.  If a guest speaker represents or is expected to represent only one side of an issue which is clearly controversial, the teacher who has extended the invitation must provide evidence to the building Principal that other views of the issue will be adequately addressed or presented to the students.  Such views may be presented through other speakers, materials, films, books, or other media.  The ultimate goal is to enrich student exposure to ideas and issues in a fair and impartial fashion.
