Clovis Unified is frequently contacted with requests to support local businesses and non-profit organizations through the dissemination of flyers or other literature to students and/or employees. While we recognize the important partnership of businesses and non-profit organizations in supporting our schools, the District does not approve material distribution requests that would use district-funded software or human resources for businesses, non-profits or other organizations.

In order to protect the educational purpose and limited resources of our schools, Clovis Unified’s Governing Board has established a policy related to the distribution of material in schools that, in part, states “Profit generating businesses or organizations may not use schools or students as agents to distribute flyers, tickets or advertising material.” (Board Policy No. 6161.4 – Free Materials Distribution in Schools). 

As an alternative, local businesses and organizations can access the District’s monthly community newspaper, CUSD Today to advertise these opportunities directly to parents and families. Call the Communications Office at 559-327-9093 or click here for more information and special advertising rates.. 

While paper flyers from outside organizations are not distributed to students, approved flyers may occasionally be made available in school front offices at the school site’s discretion if information is very specific to a site, student group or event. To request approval for your hard copy flyer, please complete and submit the Materials Distribution Request Form (downloadable below) to JoAnna Flynn: joannaflynn@cusd.com.

The Communications Department will review your request and contact you with approval and/or next steps.
