the District is required to provide the space, the principal of the campus is allowed to designate the
areas where the election is to be held. The custodian may be required to open the building early for
elections on school days, but no additional custodial staff should be required for these elections;
i.e., on a regular business day there should be no custodial overtime incurred for elections.

way contrary to the purpose of the District. Doctrines or theories that are subversive to the
Constitution or laws of the State of Texas or of the United States of America shall not be
advanced. Social or political change by violence shall not be advanced. Private, profit-making
enterprises shall not be promoted. Lectures, musical comedies, theatrical productions, or any other
assemblies that are, in the judgment of the Superintendent or designee, of a questionable nature
shall not be permitted.
