- Any activity that may violate the canons of good morals, manners or taste.
- Any activity that may be injurious to the buildings, groups or equipment.
- Any purpose in conflict with school activities.
- Any activities which are discriminatory in the legal sense.
- Commercial advertising, or fundraising campaigns, except as permitted by County Board of Education policy or special action of the County Board of Education.
