Staff proposed aligning the district’s extracurricular and athletics policies with NHIAA guidance and recent state statutory language. The packet shows a plan to cite NHIAA eligibility rules as the district’s source of truth for interscholastic athletics and to change the registration documentation section by replacing the phrase “original birth certificate” with “official birth certificate.” Staff said they would eliminate a set of added lines (31–37 in the draft) that had expanded registration documentation and physical/exam requirements, instead keeping a concise required‑document list. The discussion also addressed how school‑sponsored club teams that compete interscholastically should be treated; staff recommended explicitly including interscholastic school‑sponsored club teams in the policy text while excluding non‑interscholastic club activities. Board members and staff discussed state statute RSA 193:41 (as presented in the packet) and a specific statutory provision effective Aug. 18, 2024, that defines eligibility for female teams by reference to a student’s biological sex as stated on an “official … certificate.” Staff recommended referencing NHIAA rules for technical details so the district would not have to update the local policy every time the association changes procedures. Staff said they would bring revised language back to the board as a first reading and would remove the recently added registration paragraphs if members agreed. Ending: Staff will draft a revised JJA/JJC policy referencing NHIAA rules, change “original” to “official” on birth‑certificate language, and return the item for first‑reading consideration.
