The Iowa City Community School District recognizes the importance of advancing student knowledge and appreciation of political occurrences in society. However, in order to achieve this goal without aligning the District with particular viewpoints or candidates, the District shall not allow campaign signs that advocate for a particular political candidate or political issue to be placed on District property. Signs that inform the public about events of public interest or advocate voting in general may be allowed by permission of the Superintendent or designee.

As used in this policy, the term “District property” includes all property owned, leased, or rented by the District.
