The Superintendent or designee will assign the responsibilities to implement school activities based on the following guidelines:
Implementation includes, but is not limited to, preparing the section of the Student Activity Rules and Procedures Handbook for these activities, finances, trip approval/transportation requests, practice and competition and fee waiver processing.
The Assistant Superintendent for Governmental Relations and General Administration will establish a High School Activity Council and a Middle School Activity Council a) to monitor the implementation of the activity program and b) to make recommendations about revisions in District policies and regulations related to 1) problems or issues which may arise, 2) authorization of new activities and 3) other matters related to the activity program.
The membership of the two Activity Councils will consist of the principals (i.e., high school principals for the High School Activity Council and middle school principals for the Middle School Activity Council) and the District Director of Athletics/Student Activities, with the Director of Secondary Education or designee as an ex-officio member.
The District Director of Athletics/Student Activities will a) assist in the preparation of council meeting agendas and preside at meetings, b) will be responsible for the maintenance and distribution of minutes of meetings to council members, c) draft recommended revisions in policies and regulations and d) submit these recommended revisions to the Assistant Superintendent for Governmental Relations and General Administration. If the District Director of Athletics/Student Activities is not present at a meeting, the Director for Secondary Education or designee shall preside.
