Guidelines and Standards for Businesses Partnering with Schools |
Promoting
|
 Partnership programs may not be used to promote products or services of the business partner. Business partners and their employees, however, may be
recognized publicly and in print (newsletters and menus) for their involvement
and volunteerism within the school system. A school bulletin board, for
example, is an appropriate vehicle to recognize partnership activities and
provides information about the business/organization. |
Use of alcoholic
|
Mid-Maryland does not condone the use of alcoholic
beverages or tobacco in the presence of students. Businesses that sell
alcoholic beverages are to be carefully screened. The goals and objectives
of the partnership should not include any activities where alcoholic beverages
are used in the presence of students. In some cases, the location of a "bar"
or "lounge" may disqualify a business from joining the Educational
Partnerships program. |
Work tasks for
|
In many partnership programs, students volunteer
to assist the business with special projects. However, partnerships will
not be condoned where students are used to complete work tasks for the
business during the school day, except in cases of work experience programs.

Displaying
|
Business partners are permitted to give items
to students with their logo displayed. However, businesses should not
promote themselves in a singular category as being the "best"
business of that type. For instance, a bank may share the importance of
savings, but should not promote itself as the best and only banking institution. |
Disclosing
|
Solicitors requesting names of business partners
must contact the schools for this information. It is up to the discretion
of the school-based partnership committee whether or not to share contact
names and phone numbers with others. |
Etc. |
Additional limitations may be established by school-based
committees. |
