VI. Financial Obligations Students who owe school fees or other financial obligations may lose privileges to participate in all Category I & II activity or athletic events until their financial obligations are met. ACTIVITY CONFLICT POLICY Coaches and advisors should carefully check the progress and monitor the activities of students on their rosters to anticipate possible performance conflicts. Students often participate in more than one school-sponsored activity at a time. When the commitment and effort required for participation in one activity detracts from another activity, the advisors and or coaches will consult with the student and propose a solution. If the student and his/her advisors and/or coaches cannot work out an acceptable arrangement, the Activities, Athletics & Recreation Coordinator will meet with the student and the Coordinator will determine which activity should be dropped. A student WILL NOT be penalized for choosing one activity over another. When a student has a conflict because two or more events or performances are scheduled at the same time, the following policy will apply:
1. A performance (i.e. game, meet, contest, play, etc.) has priority over any practice or rehearsal, and the student is excused from the other activity without penalty. 2. Participation or performance in a theatre, conference, district, or state tournament series event takes priority. If a student should choose not to participate in the theatre, conference, district or state tournament series, they will not be permitted to participate in any activity during the same date(s). 3. The FIRST activity (based on starting date) the student joins or commits to will take precedent in the event of practice or performance conflict. The first activity will be considered the student’s “primary” activity. Students who wish to be involved in additional activities MUST make prior arrangements with their primary advisor/coach to attend a practice or any portion of a practice for another activity in place of their regular practice. 4. If a performance in one activity conflicts with a performance in another activity, the student will perform in the activity taking priority under provisions 1, 2, or 3. If this causes a problem, and the coaches/advisors cannot agree, the Activities, Athletics & Recreation Coordinator will act as arbitrator. PROCEDURES REGARDING ALL VIOLATIONS 1. All violations must be reported to the respective coach, advisor, or administrator. 2. In cases where there is disagreement or extenuating circumstances, a meeting of the Appeal Board will be held to weigh evidence and make a final decision. 3. An Appeal Board will consist of five faculty members (one will act as chairperson). Discrimination Complaint procedures apply in all cases. 4. All coaches and advisors are to consider these guidelines as minimum standards, and are permitted to enforce regulations beyond these limits if written documentation has been approved by administration. Some activities have additional constitutional requirements. 5. Depending on the nature of the violation, the student may be subject to disciplinary action in all activities in which they are currently participating. DRUG/ALCOHOL VIOLATION PROCEDURES The following Drug/Alcohol Program Policy is in effect: 1. In cases of self-referral, a student may be allowed to complete an awareness group in lieu of the assigned suspension. 2. When a code violation occurs, the student may request, in writing, to complete an awareness group to reduce or take the place of a suspension. This request must be presented to the Appeal Board for consideration. 3. When a code violation occurs, the student may request, in writing, to complete an awareness group in lieu of a suspension. This request must be presented to the Appeal Board for consideration. 4. A student undergoing alcohol/drug rehabilitation will be suspended from contests and practices until such time as they produce a signed medical release with parental approval. 5. The facilitator of the awareness group may discuss the need for a professional assessment. If further evaluation is necessary, the student is expected to follow through on its recommendation. Failure to do so will result in further suspension 57
