Policy on Freedom of Speech

The Policy on Freedom of Speech outlines the school’s commitment to protecting the First Amendment rights of students, faculty, and staff while balancing those rights with the need to maintain a safe and orderly educational environment. The policy may specify the types of speech that are protected, such as political, religious, or artistic expression, as well as the limitations on speech that is considered disruptive, threatening, or harmful to others. It may also address issues related to the time, place, and manner of expression, such as the use of school facilities or resources for speech activities. The purpose of the Policy on Freedom of Speech is to educate members of the school community about their rights and responsibilities related to free expression and to provide guidance on how to exercise those rights in a way that is consistent with the school’s mission and values.
