UPPER
ARLINGTON HIGH SCHOOL
ATHLETIC, EXTRACURRICULAR, AND COCURRICULAR ACADEMIC
REQUIREMENTS
|
| |
| PREAMBLE |
|
Participation
in extracurricular activities is a privilege extended
to all students who meet the eligibility requirements.
One of the requirements is compliance with the Extracurricular
Code which is supportive of the District's commitment
to provide a drug-free atmosphere where all students have
the opportunity to achieve their academic and social potential.
To that end, extracurricular activities and programs promote
and reinforce a clear no-use message for students. |

respect to alleged violations of parts 3 and 4 under "Rules

of any alleged violation. The principal or designee will
investigate the alleged violation by contacting the student,
the student'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 has violated
the Extracurricular Code will be the preponderance of
evidence standard: the administrator making a determination
about whether a student has violated the Extracurricular
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 Extracurricular
Code. |

that penalties imposed under this Code will have extreme
consequences for a student's well being. |

A
student may use build altering chemicals that have been
medically prescribed if (a) the student's pertinent medical
