Policy Extracurricular activities are an integral part of school life and often require as much careful planning and supervision as the academic subjects. However, care must be taken that these activities do not take precedence in importance over the subject matter areas, but remain in the position of supplementing the actual courses of study.

Eligibility to Represent the School

Participation in extra class activities and in student offices is not a right, but rather a privilege. All students elected to student offices, or who represent their schools in extracurricular activities, shall comply with all appropriate standards of conduct as set forth in the school conduct and discipline policies. Any student who does not comply with the appropriate standards of conduct shall not be allowed to represent fellow students nor the schools for a period of time recommended by the student's principal, but in no case, except when approved by the Board of Education, shall the time exceed twelve calendar months.

Supervision

Whenever or wherever held, when conducted under the name of the school or school district or any class or organization thereof, extracurricular activities shall be under the general supervision of the school authorities.

Non-Secret Groups
Extracurricular groups shall not be secret in nature.
