Board Report May 2024

Section 7: Current:

TRAVEL All athletes shall travel to athletic events and return home from athletic events with the team on which the athlete competes by use of school approved means of transportation. A written waiver of this rule may be issued by a coach or administrator upon advance written request of an athlete's parent or guardian and provided the parent or guardian appears and accepts custody of the athlete. In no case shall a waiver be issued unless the alternate means of transportation anticipated by the waiver will be provided by the parent. Any student athlete found to be in violation of this policy shall be subject to discipline in accordance with the school district's athletic discipline policies, rules and regulations as provided herein. New: TRAVEL All athletes shall travel to athletic events with the team on which the athlete competes by use of school approved means of transportation. We believe it is valuable for members of a team to celebrate a victory or comfort each other in defeat, so all athletes shall return home from athletic events with the team on which the athlete competes by use of school approved means of transportation. If a program’s head coach allows waivers of this rule, a sign out sheet will be available at the team’s event and 1. A parent or guardian (as identified by the school’s information system) may sign out their student athlete without advance notice OR 2. A student-athlete may be signed out by and ride ho me with a teammate’s parent/guardian OR an adult relative if the student- athlete’s parent/guardian provides written notice (note or email) to the coach prior to the team’s scheduled departure time. Any student-athlete found to be in violation of this policy shall be subject to discipline in accordance with the school district’s athletic discipline policies, rules and regulations as provided herein.

We are committed to our development as adaptive learners, global thinkers, and responsible citizens through collaboration across our school community.
