Board changes athletic eligibility to 2.0 GPA and passing five classes
Summary
The board approved an Athletic Handbook adjustment requiring student-athletes maintain a 2.0 GPA and pass five classes to remain eligible; the motion passed 5-1.
The Board of Education approved a change to the Athletic Handbook at its Aug. 13 meeting requiring a 2.0 grade-point average and passing five classes to maintain sports eligibility.
Chuck Melki moved the change and Autumn Henry supported the motion; the roll-call vote was 5 yes, 1 no (Board President Carrie Germain voted no). The change replaces the district's prior eligibility standard and will apply to the upcoming athletic season as recorded in the meeting minutes.
The public minutes do not include specifics on monitoring, appeals, or transitional provisions for students currently near the eligibility threshold; those operational details are left to athletic and administrative staff to implement.
