Superintendent presents draft dual-participation policy to prevent penalizing students with event conflicts
Summary
The superintendent presented a draft procedure to allow students to participate in conflicting curricular and extracurricular events without penalty; he said the draft will go to principals and then the policy committee for development.
Superintendent Robert Fitzpatrick introduced a draft procedure on dual participation that would ensure students are not penalized when curricular and extracurricular events conflict. Fitzpatrick said the draft encourages coaches, directors and teachers to coordinate so students who, for example, are in band and a sports team can participate in both activities without academic penalty and with principal involvement as needed.
Fitzpatrick said he will distribute the draft to principals for feedback and then forward a revised version to the policy committee for formal policy consideration. Trustees noted the draft appears more inclusive than the current 2018 policy and suggested the policy committee ensure clarity on situations involving dual credits, contests and athletic commitments.
