The following standards are effective for students in grade 6, if part of a middle school, and grades 7 through 12.
1. Definition Extracurricular activities are:
a. All interscholastic activities which are
of a competitive nature and involve more than one school where a championship,
winner, or rating is determined; and all those endeavors of a continuous and
ongoing nature for which no credit is earned in meeting graduation or
promotional requirements and are organized, planned, and sponsored by the
district consistent with district policy.
b. Activities which are an integral part of a
credit class shall be excepted from the rule.
2. Eligibility requirements and ineligibility.
a. Eligibility. To be eligible
to participate in extracurricular activities, a student shall be required to:
i. Earn a passing grade in each course in
which the student is enrolled; and
ii. Maintain satisfactory progress toward
promotion or graduation.
b. Ineligibility. When it is determined that
a student has failed to meet the requirements specified for eligibility, the
student shall be declared ineligible to participate in extracurricular
activities and shall remain ineligible until the requirements of eligibility
are met.
i. The governing board shall
establish the criteria for a passing grade and satisfactory progress toward
promotion or graduation, taking into account the needs of children placed in

determined on a cumulative basis, from the beginning of instruction to the
recording of a final grade for the course.
ii. Every nine weeks or less, as determined
by the governing board, district personnel shall review the progress of
students to determine their eligibility status. If a student is declared
ineligible, the student shall remain ineligible until a subsequent check is
performed and it is determined that the student meets the eligibility
requirements specified in subsection (2)(a).
3. Each governing board shall adopt a policy and implement a program pursuant to that policy to provide:
a. Oral or written preliminary notice to all
district students and their parents or guardian of pending
ineligibility;
b. Written notice to
students and their parents or guardians when ineligibility has been
determined;
c. Educational support
services to students declared ineligible because of this rule, as well as those
notified of pending ineligibility.
