IF YOUR REQUEST IS APPROVED

1. An approval letter with a signed copy of the publication will be provided to the requestor and must be delivered with all publications to the school/s. After receiving District approval, please contact the school prior to delivering any publications to the school. Once approved, printed materials may not be altered.
2. Publications for a specific event may only be sent once during the approved distribution date(s).
3. The final decision concerning publication distribution, and the manner in which the materials are distributed (whether electronic posting on webpage or paper), is at the building principal’s discretion. Some principals may prefer having a limited number of publications available in the office for students who are interested, as opposed to distributing one to every child. Therefore, do not make copies of your publication until approval is received and until the school’s manner of distribution is determined by the principal.
4. All materials for distribution in elementary schools are to be packaged in bundles of 25. Please contact each school for a current student count, if needed.
5. Please note that publications are not distributed to middle or high school classrooms. You may provide 25-50 copies for general distribution to middle or high schools that can be kept in the main office and other common school areas
   for students, families and community members.
6. The requestor bears the cost of printing all materials. San Antonio Independent School District will not distribute approved, printed publications to campuses from the central mail office.
7. If at any time it is determined that previous flyers or written materials presented for approval contained false information or did not accurately represent the intent of the program, future requests for approval will be denied.
