Policy No. 3520: Student Activities: Eligibility for Student Activities
Student Activities: Eligibility for Student Activities
Participation in competitive athletics, student government, and other extracurricular activities confers important educational and lifetime benefits upon students. However, there is no constitutional or legally protected right to participate in these types of extracurricular activities. Students who participate in extracurricular activities become role models for others in the school and community. These students often play significant roles in establishing standards of acceptable behavior in the school and community, and in maintaining the school's reputation and the level of community confidence and support it receives. Accordingly, students involved in extracurricular activities must comply with school and District policies, team and organization rules, and applicable local, state, and federal laws regarding their conduct and behavior.
