|
|
|
|
For
the purpose of cumulating violations of the Code, there
shall be two separate periods of academic life: (1) grades
7 through 8 and (2) grades 9 through 12. The first period
will end the last official school day for grade 8; the
second period will begin at the end of the first period
and will end the last official school date for grade 12.
Within each of these two separate periods of academic
life, violations of this Code shall be cumulative. |

|
|
|
With
respect to alleged violations of parts 3 and 4 under "Rules
and Penalties," the principal or designee shall notify
the student athlete and the student athlete's parent(s)
or guardian(s) of any alleged violation. The principal
or designee will investigate the alleged violation by
contacting the student athlete, the student athlete's
parent(s) or guardian(s) and any other individuals the
principal or designee deems necessary in his/her discretion.
The principal or designee shall determine the appropriate
penalty as soon as reasonably possible after investigating
the alleged violation. |
|
|
|
|
The
standard used to determine whether a student athlete has
violated the Athletic Code will be the preponderance of
evidence standard: the administrator making a determination
about whether a student athlete has violated the Athletic
Code will consider all evidence presented to him/her.
The administrator will determine whether it is more probable
than not that the student athlete has violated the Athletic
Code. |
|
|
|
|
Notwithstanding
the other provisions of the Code, the following shall
be permitted: |
|
|
|
|
A
parent or guardian of a student athlete may serve alcohol
as permitted by law to the student athlete. |
|
|
|
|
A student athlete may observe bona fide religious practices. |
|
|
|
|
The
Athletic Council may modify penalties and provide conditions
in its sole discretion where medical or psychological
documentation has been presented which sufficiently demonstrates
that penalties imposed under this Code will have extreme
consequences for a student athlete's well being. |
|
|
|
|
A
student athlete may use build altering chemicals that
have been medically prescribed for a purpose other than
enhancement of athletic ability if (a) the athlete's pertinent
medical records are made available for review by the Board's
appointed physician and (b) that the physician confirms
the proper purpose of such prescription. |
| |
| For
the student athlete to be eligible to be elected captain
of an athletic team, he/she cannot have had an athletic
code violation during the calendar year prior to the beginning
of the season in which he/she is to serve. A student athlete
currently serving or elected to serve as a team leader
who has violated Rule 3 or 4 under "Requirements
and Penalties" shall be immediately ineligible to
serve in any athletic leadership position for the remainder
of his/her academic life. |
