Other visitors of non-selling interest shall conduct their business with or through the office of the principal or at other than school hours.

No board employee may distribute, or cause to be distributed, any promotional materials, products or services on board property to other board employees or pupils when such acts are for the purpose of personal financial gain without complying with board policy.
