2430.02 - PARTICIPATION OF COMMUNITY/STEM SCHOOL STUDENTS IN EXTRA-CURRICULAR ACTIVITIES

A student enrolled in a community school established under R.C. Chapter 3314 or in a science, technology, engineering, and mathematics ("STEM") school established under Chapter 3326 and entitled to attend school in the District under R.C. 3313.64 or R.C. 3313.65, shall be provided with the opportunity to participate in any extra-curricular activities offered by the District.

The eligible community or STEM school student may participate in any extra-curricular activities offered by the school building to which the student would otherwise be assigned. In the event the District operates more than one (1) school building at the student's grade level, the student may participate in those extra-curricular activities offered by the school building to which the student would otherwise be assigned by the Superintendent in accordance with R.C. 3319.01.

Eligibility Requirements

In order to participate in any extra-curricular activity, an eligible community or STEM school student must be of the appropriate age and grade level, as determined by the Superintendent. The student will also be subject to the same eligibility requirements (i.e., academic and nonacademic eligibility standards and financial requirements) applied to all other participants. No eligible community or STEM school student will be charged any fees in excess of those fees charged to other students for participation in the same extra-curricular activity. Further, the District will not impose any additional rules upon a student participating under this policy, if those rules do not apply to other students participating in the same extracurricular activity. No student will be denied the opportunity to participate in interscholastic athletics offered by a school in the District because the student has or is participating in college credit plus program as long as the student fulfills all academic, nonacademic and financial requirements.
