CLUBS AND STUDENT ORGANIZATIONS

Clubs or student organizations allow students to extend and reinforce their classroom learning, offer opportunities to practice democratic self-government, enable them to develop leadership abilities and honor outstanding student achievements.  Only curriculum-related and administratively approved student organizations may meet on the school campus.  Student organizations will operate in accordance with policy.

Sponsors and coaches of extracurricular activities, including interscholastic athletics, band, choir, drill teams, etc., may develop and enforce codes of conduct that are more stringent than those for students in general and may condition membership or participation in the activity on adherence to that code of conduct.  No provision of an extracurricular code of conduct shall have the effect of discriminating on the basis of sex, race, disability, religion, or ethnicity.  If violation of these rules is also a violation of school rules, the consequences specified by the school will apply in addition to any consequences specified by the organization.
