Advertising fees depend on the classification of the organization.

• Class 1 – School groups, non-profit organizations, and government units that are advertising their organization or events that are free and open to the public. Non-profit organizations may be required to provide a 501c3 I.D. Number.
• Class 2 – School groups, non-profit organizations, and government units that charge admission, registration, or sell merchandise relating to the advertised event, program, or service.
• Class 3 – Commercial and for-profit organizations.

A layout fee of $50 or more will be added to any ad that is not submitted “camera-ready.” Changes in ads after submission may incur additional charges. Please proofread your ads thoroughly before submitting them to Community Education. We will invoice you for the ad.

• First, call the Enrichment & Marketing Manager at 952-232-2170 to request ad space. Remember – first-come, first-served!
• Ads must include the organization's name and a contact telephone number or website address.
• Submit “camera-ready” ads via e-mail. Submit in a high-resolution ( at least 300 dpi) PDF, JPG, or EPS format. Please be sure all fonts and graphics are embedded in the file. All text and graphics in black or CMYK (please convert photos to CMYK as well if you want them in color).
• Ads that are not submitted “camera-ready” must still provide all text via e-mail. Limited placement of clipart or logos in JPG or EPS format may be requested. The layout fee will vary with the amount of service required.
• Ads may be enclosed in a border if one is not already a part of the ad.
• Ads may not include a registration form or cut-out coupon.
• Submit your ad to Amanda.Cambronne@isd194.org

Advertisements are accepted on a “first-come, first-serve” basis. Inclusion of an advertisement is on a space available basis and is not guaranteed. If space does not allow for an ad, a full refund of the fees paid will be made.

Advertisement for camps or classes may not contain specific class details like dates/times/locations.  You may direct them to your website to obtain these details.  This is to ensure that families do not confuse paid ads for Community Education programmed classes, camps and programs.

The Community Education Department will review and approve or reject ads for compliance to ISD #194 policies and fit within the vision of the Lakeville Area Community Education Catalog.

Policy A-125, Advertising in the School District, states, “Advertisements may be rejected by the school district if determined to be inconsistent with the educational objectives of the school district or inappropriate for inclusion for the publication.”

Ads of the following nature will not be accepted: travel companies, credit card companies, insurance agencies, and alcohol or tobacco products.
