PTHS Student Handbook 2021-2022

87 2. SECOND OFFENSE : The student-athlete will be suspended from all IHSA athletic activities for one calendar year (365 days) from the date of the offense. The original suspension may be reduced by half (180 days) from the original date of the offense provided the student successfully completes a licensed drug, alcohol, or tobacco treatment program (such as IHR or Chestnut) as approved by the school administration. Random drug screening will follow successful completion of the approved treatment program via the school drug screen provider until the 365 days suspension expires. Successful completion of the treatment program will not be considered by the administration until an official letter from the licensed facility is received. Cost of the treatment program and any required additional testing will be at the athlete’s expense. 3. EACH ADDITIONAL OFFENSE : The student-athlete will be suspended from all IHSA athletic activities for one calendar year (365) days from the date of the offense. NO SUSPENSIONS CAN OVERLAP. TRAINING RULE B 1. FIRST OFFENSE : The student-athlete will be suspended for one-sixth (1/6) of the total contests in the current sport season or the first scheduled sport in which the athlete participates. The athlete must attend all practices and contests and follow all requirements for the sport successfully as set out by the coach for the entire season. Failure to complete in good standing will void any suspension served and the suspension will remain in effect as if no contests have already been served. 2. SECOND OFFENSE : The student-athlete will be suspended for the remainder of the season in the current sport season or the first scheduled sport in which the athlete participates and the student athlete will forfeit letter and other awards along with banquet attendance and participation. 3. EACH ADDITIONAL OFFENSE : The student-athlete will be suspended from all IHSA athletic activities for one calendar year (365 days) from the date of the offense. NO SUSPENSIONS CAN OVERLAP TRAINING RULE C The Athletic Director and Administration reserves the right to judge each disciplinary case involving a violation of Section II Rule C on an individual basis. It should be understood that each case possesses its own unique set of circumstances which prohibits it from comparison to any other case. The nature of the conduct shall determine the consequences of the violation. Consequences can range from a verbal reprimand to removal from PTHS activity/athletic participation. DETERMINATION OF SUSPENSION LENGTH Only regular season contests will be counted when determining suspension length. In assessing the penalty, if the number of regular season contests comes to a decimal point less than 0.5, the penalty will be rounded down. If the number of contests comes to a decimal point that is equal to or more than 0.5, the penalty will be rounded up. This also applies to carryover suspensions. COMBINATION OF TRAINING RULES VIOLATIONS Any combination of training rules violations will at minimum result in the student-athlete being removed from their current participating sport for the remainder of the season. CARRYOVER SUSPENSIONS A suspension may go beyond the season in which the infraction occurs. The percentage of suspension remaining must be completed during the next season of participation and the athlete must finish the season with the carryover suspension in good standing. For example, if a student athlete had completed one-half (1/2) of the suspension at the end of the current season, one-half (1/2) of the suspension will carry over to the next athletic season he/she participates.
