Extra-Curricular Code Of Conduct Established

 

Students at Cazenovia High School who choose to participate in any extracurricular activities this year will be bound by a revised code of conduct. The new policy represents a two fold change.

First, the former policy, generally recognized as the athletic code, was enforced solely for those who were involved with the interscholastic athletics program. Beginning this school year, students who are involved in any extra-curricular activity (including athletics) will be expected to follow the same code of conduct. This will include students who are active in student government, student council, drama club, or any of the other activity programs offered at the school.

The second change represented in the revised code of conduct will hold students involved in any extracurricular activity responsible for adhering to the rules and regulations it contains throughout the school year. For example, a student who joins a club or activity program will be expected to follow the rules contained within the code of conduct throughout the school year, even if the actual events associated with that activity happen at a time other than when a violation of the code of conduct took place.

Athletes will be bound be the rules of the code of conduct for three consecutive sport seasons beginning with their current season and including the time between those seasons (except during the summer months). For example, if a student plays on a fall sports team and a spring sports team, they would be expected to adhere to the district's code of conduct throughout the winter and up to the start of the spring season, when they would again sign a new code of conduct. If a student participates only on a fall team, they would be bound by the code of conduct until the start of the next fall sports season.

Copies of the revised code of conduct are available in the high school office and the athletic office.
