1 Use of School District Facilities for Campaign Activities Required Training
2 Introduction The purpose of this course is to familiarize school district staff with Washington State law regarding the use of school district facilities to support or oppose a candidate or ballot proposition campaign. The Public Disclosure Commission of Washington State monitors campaign finance and violations of campaign laws and can fine districts and individuals for non-compliance or violation. Campaigns may include school board or other political candidates, bond or levy initiatives, or other measures voted on by the public. This course will provide the necessary information to ensure your compliance with campaign laws in relation to school facilities, including what is and what is not permissible activity.
3 Washington State Law School facilities may not be used to support or oppose a candidate or ballot proposition campaign. A ballot proposition includes a levy, bond, and/or any initiative or referendum to be voted upon by the people, or any other ballot propositions to be voted upon by the people in a federal, state or local election. A candidate includes any individual running for the school board or any other federal, State or local office. The definition of facilities includes school district equipment, networks, buildings, supplies, employee work time, and district publications. The definition of facilities also includes .
4 District & Campaigns District may not be used to assist in campaign activities. District includes use of district computers or district addresses This includes any sent TO address or FROM address. District cannot be used for any campaign activities even if you are on a break.
5 District & Campaigns This means you cannot use district to: Discuss campaign meeting times or places Engage in or encourage contact with individuals who might help a campaign Provide contact information for yourself or others in order to assist campaign group Recruit or organize staff to participate in sign-waving or other campaign activities Encourage individuals to vote in order to meet validation requirements
6 Normal Publication with Objective and Fair Factual Presentation In the course of normal publications, a school may distribute an objective and fair presentation of the facts about a levy or bond. The publication must be based on and may expand upon the information prepared by the District in accordance with the normal and regular conduct of the school and the district.
7 Right to Political Activity School employees do not forfeit their rights to engage in political activity because of employment. You may not pressure any other employee to participate in a political activity or to take a particular position. You should make it clear that any political activity is personal rather than officially sponsored.
8 Right to Political Activity You may fully participate in levy and bond campaign activities, or school board races (during non-work hours and without using school facilities), including: Passing out leaflets Waving signs Making presentations Calling voters Meeting with citizens campaign committees
9 Activities that are Permitted You may inform staff during non-work hours of opportunities to participate in campaign activities, provided you do not use school facilities. You may respond with factual information to questions regarding a ballot measure during work hours if it is consistent with normal and regular duties. You may wear campaign buttons or similar items while on the job. You may place window signs or bumper stickers on your privatelyowned cars, even if those cars are parked on school property during working hours.
10 Encourage Voting You may encourage staff, parents, and the public to vote, as long as the encouragement routinely occurs for other elections. Information about a vote, or providing dates of upcoming elections such as vote on February, may be posted, as long as the information is normally posted for elections other than just district elections. You may thank citizens on reader boards for their support after an election.
11 Students You may not encourage, organize or contact students about campaign activities during school time or while on school property.
