Assembly of Students

Citizens of our country are guaranteed the right of peaceful assembly under the first and fourteenth amendments of the United States Constitution and under Article I, Section 26, of the Oregon Constitution. Students, as citizens, have the right of assembly and must also bear the responsibility for the consequences of such assembly. Students and staff all share responsibility for the activities that take place in school. School personnel are held accountable to the general public, and in cooperation with students, are accountable for the image of the institution. Therefore, the orderly use of school facilities is required.

  1. Informal Gatherings

    Students have the right to gather informally, but such gatherings shall not substantially disrupt the orderly operation of the school or infringe upon the rights of others.


  2. Student Meetings

    Students are permitted to hold meetings at school under the following conditions:


    1. Meetings must be scheduled in advance and sponsored by school officials or an official school club or organization.


    2. If a large crowd is anticipated, a crowd control plan must be filed with the school official in advance of the meeting.


    3. Meetings must not be disruptive to class or school activities and shall not be of such a nature that could likely result in damage to any person or property.


  3. Speakers

    Invitations to speakers will be approved by the principal or a designated school official in advance of the meeting. Attempts will be made to present a balance of viewpoints to students. However, no speaker will be allowed to make a speech that advocates breaking the law or otherwise violates the district's policies or the provisions of this handbook.


  4. Student Walkouts

    Student organized "skip days" or other unauthorized group absences of students are not acceptable. Permission for absences for this type of activity will not be granted.
