GSA Information

​

The Federal Equal Access Act states that any school that receives government funding and has at least one other non-curricular club must also allow a GSA. The law also states that your school must treat all clubs the same and let them use school resources in the same way. If your school lets other clubs meet in classrooms, put up posters and organize school events, they have to let your GSA do the same. Your school cannot force you to change the name of your club, and cannot require permission slips unless other clubs also require them.
