Interscholastic/Extracurricular Activities
Code of Conduct
(Policy and Regulation)
JHEB 9/28/00
Policy
Participation in interscholastic/ extracurricular
activities in public schools is a privilege. Students participating
in these activities are school leaders who are looked up to and
emulated by other students. They are role models who represent their
school and more importantly, depict its character.
With leadership comes additional responsibility and
student participants must adhere to high standards of conduct.
When students violate these high standards, the school
district may withdraw the privilege to participate in
interscholastic/extracurricular activities.
1.
A student who uses or possesses illegal drugs or alcohol on or off
school property shall be suspended from interscholastic/
extracurricular activities in compliance with Cobb County Board of
Education Regulation JCDAB/C.
2.
A student who is arrested for, or charged with, a misdemeanor
involving moral turpitude or a felony shall be automatically
suspended from interscholastic/extracurricular activities. The
student shall remain suspended from these activities until such time
as the matter is resolved in favor of the student.
These guidelines are intended as minimum consequences
for the referenced behaviors.
Administration and local schools may adopt additional rules
and regulations as they deem appropriate and necessary.
