Advertising and Sponsorships

Advertising Content 

Advertisements must be substantially related to the mission of Princeton Community Ed. The Community Ed Department will review and approve or reject ads for compliance to ISD 477 policies and fit within the vision of the Princeton Community Ed Catalog.

Advertisements from organizations, programs, or services that conflict or compete with District activities, programs, or services will not be accepted. Ads of the following nature will not be accepted: travel companies*, credit card companies, insurance agencies, and alcohol or tobacco products. Ads may be denied if an organization has an overdue account payable to ISD 477.

*Travel content is only allowed in direct relation to the Community Ed mission of fostering learning and lifelong connections and opportunities for all ages. Ex: Group Adult Day Trip or Adults with Disabilities programs in conjunction with Community Ed.

Advertising that recommends, describes, or announces the availability of any product or service for-profit is not allowed unless in direct relation to the Community Ed mission. Examples of for-profit entity advertisements allowed:

• Services that benefit or support ISD 477 such as teacher substitutes or bus drivers

• Classes/programs that compliment Community Ed programming to offer lifelong learning and experiences

• A for-profit entity may advertise support for a Community Ed program. Ex: Home improvement company ABC cannot advertise for new siding installation. However, they may run an advertisement that says, “ ABC Company is a proud sponsor of Princeton Community Ed Jr. Tiger Soccer” that includes a company logo. Be aware that tag lines such as “your hometown source for all home improvement needs” would not be allowed.
