I. PURPOSE
The purpose of this policy is to impart to students, employees, and the community the school district’s policy related to the student activity program.
II. GENERAL STATEMENT
School activities provide additional opportunities for students to pursue special interests that contribute to their physical, mental and emotional well-being. They are of secondary importance in relationship to the formal instructional program; however, they complement the instructional program in providing students with additional opportunities for growth and development.
III. RESPONSIBILITY
A. All students who participate in school-sponsored activities are expected to represent the school and community in a responsible manner. All rules pertaining to student conduct and student discipline extend to school activities.
B. All spectators at school-sponsored activities, including parents/guardians, employees and other members of the public are expected to behave in an appropriate manner at those activities. Students and employees may be subject to discipline and parents/guardians and other spectators may be subject to sanctions for engaging in misbehavior or inappropriate, illegal or unsportsmanlike behavior at these activities or events. The Minnesota State High School League rules will be followed in all activities.
C. The Superintendent or designee shall be responsible for disseminating information needed to inform students, parents/guardians, staff and the community of the opportunities available within the school activity program and the rules of participation.
D. Those students who participate in Minnesota State High School League (MSHSL) activities must also abide by the league rules. Those employees who conduct MSHSL activities shall be responsible for familiarizing students and parents/guardians with all applicable rules, penalties, and opportunities.
E. The Superintendent or designee shall be responsible for conducting an annual evaluation of school activity programs and presenting the results and any recommendations to the School Board. (Refer to Administrative Procedures 510.1 and 510.2.)
F. The School Board will ensure that any funds raised for extracurricular activities will be spent only on extracurricular activities.
