STUDENT PUBLICATIONS

The LaSalle Parish School Board encourages the use of school sponsored publications to express students' points of view within the normal rules for responsible journalism (including the avoidance of libel, obscenity, defamation, false statements, or material advocating racial or religious prejudice).  Student publications shall provide as much opportunity as possible for the sincere expression of student opinion.  All student publications must have the prior approval of the principal before initiation and shall be supervised by the designated faculty advisor.
