Participation in extra-curricular activities, including interscholastic sports, is a privilege and not a right. Therefore, the Board of Education authorizes the Superintendent, principals, assistant principals and other authorized personnel employed by the District who supervise or coach a student activity program, to prohibit a student from participating in any particular or all extra-curricular activities of the District for offenses or violations of the Student Code of Conduct and/or Student Discipline Code for a period not to exceed the remainder of the school year in which the offense or violation of the Student Code of Conduct and/or Student Discipline Code took place.

Additionally, student athletes are further subject to the Athletic Code of Conduct and may be prohibited from participating in all or part of any interscholastic sport for violations therein.

The Superintendent, principals, or assistant principals may prohibit a student from participating in any particular or all extra-curricular activities of the District for the nonpayment of student fees, fines and charges until the account is current.

Students prohibited from participation in all or part of any extra-curricular activity are not entitled to further notice, hearing, or appeal rights.

Extra-curricular activities include, but are not limited to, interscholastic sports, chess club, drama club, debate club, language club, spirit club, and school-related events and activities.

This policy shall be posted in a central location in each school building and will be available to students upon request.
