How about congressmen advertise by wearing logos of the people they take bribes from, and we give their salaries to the schools?
And what ever happened to bake sales... oh wait, they banned them...
Anyway, I'd pull my kids out of school over this. I prefer to not have them propagandized when they should be learning.

Public schools have overspent for decades. They cannot rely on raising taxes since they've used that trick already. Now schools need to make drastic cuts and find new ways to increase income. What to do with a captive audience of mushy minds? (Beside fill them with political agendas in parallel with teacher's unions.) Advertise!
Financially struggling schools nationwide are increasing the volume of advertising to bring in revenue.
Examples:
• The college-savings program CollegeInvest signed a three-year deal to advertise on report cards sent home to students in the 85,000-student Jefferson County Public School District, southwest of Denver.
• Drugstore chain CVS promoted its flu shot campaign in Virginia and Florida schools with signs at football games, posters at school entrances and in district e-newsletters.
• Office supply store Staples this fall will sponsor school supply lists in several California and Texas school districts and provide a coupon for parents, all printed on Staples-branded paper.
Of course, this will also mean McDonalds, Burger King, Taco Bell and other 'fast food' restaurants will want to advertise to young kids in schools. Should the schools allow this if it increases revenues more than a Staples advertisement? What about ads for contraceptives? Schools already hand out condoms to teenagers.
If you approve, please comment with what you would allow and not allow to advertise in schools

Granted, I do think that they should be selective about what they advertise. School related stores, like Staples, would be fine. There are enough office supply stores that they could make at least a little money.
"If you approve, please comment with what you would allow and not allow to advertise in schools"
Anything that is age-appropriate and meets the community standards for decency.
I oppose public schooling, period. It is a main part of the deliberate dumbing down of the America public (MSM and ridiculous laws are the other two parts).
I support homeschooling but I support unschooling even more. Please research the origin of public schools in America, then research both those other two options (and John Taylor Gatto) before you next come out in support for government run schools, and even private schools based on the same agenda as public schools; especially before you next vote on an increase in property taxes (for schools) in a special levy election. Stop paying ever more tax dollars each year to indoctrinate and dumb down your own children.
this is NOTHING NEW ..
Advertising on school grounds .. has happened for DECADES
(look at the sponsorship signs on sports areas .. including the major HS Sports teams .. as well as on the Jr High Level too) (and this includes fast food outlets advertising as well)
and we know that there's advertisements SOLD for the Senior class booklets too ..
there's also in each store .. sheets by GRADE .. printed on that particular store's products and promoting what they sell too (of course .. that store will want you to purchase the brand there .. the list at another store will advertise its brand lead)
needless to say ..
when it comes to one's grades for their schoolwork ..
As a PARENT .. you should NOT get advertising instead ..
(I'd be real irritated with this .. PLEASE .. just tell me what my child's progress is .. not what your sponsors want me to purchase)
Wonder if it occurs ..
1. How about looking for waste/abuse .. fraud .. within the district
(and weed out the ones in the 'rubber room' indeed == FIRE THEM)
2. How about if the staffing of Administration be looked at cutting (too many administrators around indeed)
3. Do they realize that many folks have already tuned OUT when it comes to Adverts? We just ignore them indeed ..
4. I'm tired of t...

4. I'm tired of the excuse 'NOT enough funds' .. well .. TAXES on our property INCREASES each year (even with the way the economy has tanked .. taxes STILL Increased) .. learn the Meaning of the TERM .. BUDGET .. and yes, how to live within the MEANS (what already is provided by the taxpayers)
5. TEACH the students .. you know .. actually TEACH them reading, writing, math, science .. skills that they can use in the future indeed ..
I'm getting tired of so much of our taxes going to public education and our children are
still not getting a fine education. We need answers from our government and not selling
advertising in our schools !
I guarantee there is a skim from school budgets, and myriad kinds of funneling tax dollars into mobsters' pockets.
Thank you for your comment now and anytime.

Letting those crooks skim bribes from advertising will only fill THEIR pockets, and won't teach our kids anything they don't already see non-stop.
Not no, but HELL NO.
