Flyer Distribution

Flyer (or other materials) Distribution Procedures:   Our district cooperates with community groups and organizations that sponsor free (or available for scholarship) activities of an educational/enrichment nature for students.   After approval, printing and distribution fees/efforts are the responsibility of the requester.   Two methods of distribution are currently available: - Printed materials distribution to schools - Digital materials distribution (only via the vendor, Peachjar)   Flyers have a better chance for approval when:

• Programs and events are held in or around Yakima.
• Flyers are provided in English and Spanish. 
• Events are youth-related or related to youth education.
• The program is free or financial assistance or scholarships are prominently displayed and offered for students who cannot afford the services, and scholarship information is clearly explained on the eflyer.
• The sponsoring organization's name and contact information are clearly displayed on the flyer.
• School names are included only as part of the location information for those events which are held in district schools. (flyer information and layout should not imply that because an event is held at a school that the event is endorsed by the school or district.)
• The disclaimer (below) is displayed on the flyer (in English and Spanish).
