One
of the major objectives of formal education is to teach the principles of
good citizenship and of taking responsibility for one's actions at all
times.
-
Students who display unacceptable behavior
at any time, whether or not such behavior is on school property or at a
school sponsored event or activity, should not be entitled to the
privilege of being able to engage in activities designed to promote the
image of the District 87 student body and prepare students for good
citizenship. Therefore, students who display unacceptable conduct at any
time may be declared by the School Administration to be ineligible to
participate in school sponsored events and/or extra curricular
activities for a period not to exceed three (3) school months. The
committee may schedule the starting date of the ineligibility. In the
case of a subsequent infraction, or conviction (or juvenile
adjudication) of a serious crime, the committee may impose a longer
penalty, which may include permanent ineligibility.
-
Prior to taking such action, a committee
consisting of the activity's head coach or sponsor, the immediate
supervisor, the Assistant Principal, and the Principal will meet to
discuss and consider the possible ineligibility. Three (3) of the four
committee members must agree that ineligibility is appropriate.
-
A student declared ineligible may appeal
the decision, in writing, to the Superintendent of Schools within five
(5) calendar days of the committee's decision.
-
The Principal and Athletic Director may
exclude a student charged with a serious crime pending completion of a
legal investigation or conclusion of a trial.
-
Individual teams, activities, and clubs
may have more stringent rules. These will be communicated to athletes in
writing the first day of tryout/at the organizational meeting, and will
be returned signed by the parent before the student is allowed to attend
the third day of tryouts/become an active participant.
