HJ 661 Commercial, promotional, etc., sponsorships in schools.
Introduced by: Robert Tata | all patrons ... notes | add to my profiles
SUMMARY AS PASSED: (all summaries)
Commercial, promotional, and corporate partnerships and sponsorships in schools. Requests the Virginia School Boards Association and the Virginia High School League to cooperate in addressing issues relating to commercial, promotional, and corporate partnerships and sponsorships with schools. This resolution notes that commercial activities are not new to public schools, that commercial involvement in public education has increased significantly during the past decade; that most school officials, parents, and policy makers agree that corporate and business involvement in education has been positive; that although business and industry collaboration with schools should be encouraged and fostered, the school boards of Virginia must not lose sight of their primary purpose, i.e., to protect the best interest of schools and students. The VSBA and the VHSL are required to publicize the issues relating to commercial, promotional, and corporate partnerships and sponsorships; to provide the school boards with factual information on these issues and the problems that have occurred in other jurisdictions, including the concerns about inappropriate advertising and products, and the activities across the nation and in Virginia concerning amateur athletics; to provide information on the various kinds of commercial, promotional, and corporate partnerships and sponsorships being implemented; and to recommend the appropriate components of school board policies on these matters.
