Section 8000 – Students 8490 Interscholastic Athletics Defined as Club or Varsity Sport 8490-2 Varsity Sports A “varsity” sport is defined as an athletic program operated under the direct supervision of the athletic director and funded, under normal conditions, from a subsidy from the Board. Requirements to Achieve “Varsity” Status In order to achieve “varsity” status, an athletic program must comply with M.H.S.A.A. rules and the rules and regulations of the School District of the City of Saginaw. • Coaches/sponsors, if receiving a stipend, will be finger printed and a background check will be conducted. • Coaches/volunteers will have a background check conducted prior to coaching. Periodic Review All “club” and “varsity” sports will be reviewed annually to determine compliance with the above guidelines and other standards as established by the District. The level of participation, including the number of participants and availability of competition, should be the major determinants for achieving and/or retaining “varsity” status for individual sport offerings. Other factors to consider are cost, safety, risk, and female and minority representation. Approved: 8500 Addition and Deletion of Interscholastic Athletics 8500 The addition of new athletic teams will come only after the Board has thoroughly reviewed the proposed sport. The review shall include student interest, state and local competition, facilities, coaching, available funding, anticipated revenue, scheduling, equality of programs, and total impact on athletic and other District programs. There is no obligation for the District to provide funding for athletics. A sport may be “parent/guardian funded” on a year-to-year basis as one process to measure and establish student interest. A sport may also be partially funded by the District while being considered for addition or deletion. Proposals for adding new sports to the program shall be presented to the Board prior to January 31 st of the school year prior to the year the sport would be added. The Board shall establish criteria and procedures to follow when considering the addition or deletion of team sports. Approved: SCHOOL DISTRICT OF THE CITY OF SAGINAW
Section 8000 – Students 8510 Communicable Diseases - Students and Staff 8510 In order to minimize the spread of contagious diseases among students and staff, the District will cooperate, fully, with the Saginaw County Health Department to enforce adherence to the Michigan Health Code for the prevention, control, and containment of communicable diseases. A decision to close schools due to communicable disease outbreaks shall be made by the Superintendent, or designee, in consultation with the Saginaw County Health Department medical staff and/or for review to the review team. A student with or carrying a communicable and/or chronic infectious disease has all rights, privileges, and services provided by law and the District’s policies. 1 Approved: LEGAL REF: MCL 333.5111; 333.5131; 20 USCA § 1232g (Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act of 1974), MDE Bulletin, September 23, 1999 8515 Head Lice Policy 8515 The School District will periodically conduct “head checks” to screen for head lice infestation. Designated school personnel trained to look for head lice will do this. If a student is found to be infested with head lice, or to have nits, he/she will be sent home for treatment and a notification letter will be transmitted to the parent(s)/ guardian(s). The student shall not be readmitted to school until the child, parent(s)/guardian(s) can show proof, acceptable to the Superintendent, of an approved treatment. The student must remain nit-free upon inspection at school. If the student is found to still have nits after returning to school, the parent(s)/guardian(s) will be notified and the child will be sent home for nit removal. Copies of this policy, along with District rules and regulations governing head lice control and advice to parent(s)/guardian(s) on head lice control in the home, will be distributed to students and parent(s)/guardian(s) in a manner to be determined by the Superintendent. Approved: 1 A student with a contagious disease is probably a “handicapped individual” under Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act (29 U.S.C. § 794(a). See Thomas v Atascadero Unified School District, 662 F. Supp.376 (C.D. Cal 1986) (a child with Aids was a “handicapped person” under Section 504. Students with contagious diseases may also qualify for special education under the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (20. U.S.C. § 1400 et seq.) Decisions to place a student in a class outside regular classes due to infectious disease must be based on medical evaluations indicating a need to protect the health and safety of others. Community High School District 155 v Denz, 463 N.E.2 nd 998 (2 nd Dist. 1984). Cases involving contagious diseases are highly fact-specific. Generally, the appropriate treatment of a student depends on the severity of the disease and the risk of infecting others, but in all cases, legal counsel should be consulted.
