4290: OUTSIDE RESEARCH PROPOSALS
No research may be conducted in a school of the Archdiocese of Atlanta without IRB approval
from a SACS accredited college or university and the expressed written permission of the
Superintendent of Schools.
4295: TRANSPORTING STUDENTS
No school or parish employee may transport a student to or from any Archdiocesan school in
her/his personal vehicle unless the student is the child, grandchild, niece or nephew of the
employee. If an employee regularly transports a student who is a grandchild, niece or nephew, the
parent of the child(ren) must annually submit a letter granting permission for the student to be
transported. A copy of the employee’s automobile insurance must be annually submitted and
attached to this letter.
4300: REMUNERATION FOR TUTORING
School employees will not accept payment for tutoring students that they serve during the current
school year.
4310: MEDIA/FILM POLICY
This policy regarding the use of movies as instructional tools conforms to the deeply held values of
the Catholic faith, and in turn, serves as a way to shape how our students live out our Christian
values through media.
Movies are not an acceptable replacement for instruction. However, they may be used as an
additional instructional resource in support of specific curricular areas.

The movie should clearly support the Curriculum of the Archdiocese of Atlanta.
K-8 schools may use G - rated movies without parental permission.
High schools may show G, PG and PG-13 movies without parental permission.
PG and PG-13 movies may only be used in the elementary schools with parental
permission on file.
R-rated movies may not be considered as an instructional supplement in the
elementary schools and may be used in the high schools only with principal
approval and when parental permission is on file.
In addition, teachers may not use copyrighted movies or materials to supplement the curriculum
unless proper permission has been received from the producer. Please refer to Archdiocesan Policy
6265 for more information about copyright protocols.
As an additional measure to insure the appropriateness of media in the classroom at all grade
levels, please refer to the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops website at
