District Rules on Political Involvement

I was browsing through the Board policies online a couple of days ago, and
happened to read one policy that said that the District cannot be involved
in political processes such as elections. If the calls were as described,
that sounds like a clear violation of District policy and State law. It says
(in part):

"No district funds, services, supplies or equipment shall be used to urge
the support or defeat of any ballot measure or candidate, including any
candidate for election to the Board. (Education Code 7054)

"District resources shall not be used to disseminate campaign literature or
to purchase advertisements, bumper stickers, posters or similar promotional
items that advocate an election result."
