What this document actually says
This administrative regulation, last revised January 15, 2019, defines extracurricular activities (like sports, drama, debate) as programs outside regular classroom time that are supervised by the district, represent the school, and involve student choice and performance. Cocurricular activities connect to regular classroom curriculum. Key rules: Student eligibility for participation is based on grades from the previous grading period (with exceptions for extended absences due to illness, injury, or approved travel). All activities must be supervised by certificated (credentialed) employees. Non-credentialed staff working with students must have an Activity Supervisor Clearance Certificate or complete criminal background checks before working with students. Programs focused primarily on improving academic achievement are not considered extracurricular/cocurricular under this policy.
What this means for your family
Your child's eligibility for sports, clubs, and performances depends on their grades from the previous grading period. All extracurricular activities will be supervised by credentialed teachers or background-checked adults. If your child misses significant time due to illness or approved travel, earlier grades may be used to determine eligibility. These safeguards ensure academic progress and student safety in after-school programs.
