We know how important it is for your family that your son or daughter participates. Below are some highlights of the policy. If a student is suspended from school for some reason, the student will be ineligible to participate in extracurricular activities during the term of suspension regardless of whether the conduct underlying the suspension is also a Good Conduct violation.
Age is no defense to a violation involving the purchase, possession, or use of tobacco.
Similarly, drinking with parental consent in one's own home may be legal, but in most cases it will be deemed a violation of the Good Conduct Rule. A parent's approval does not automatically excuse a violation. An arrest is not necessary for the school to impose a penalty for a violation of the Good Conduct Rule. The student will be given due process of law by being told by a school official why the school believes he or she has violated the Rule and what evidence exists for that belief. Then the student will be given an opportunity to tell his or her side of the story before a decision is made about the student's eligibility.
