Extracurricular Philosophy & Structure

5210-R Co-curricular and Extracurricular Programs and Clubs Regulation

Recognizing that student activities are a part of the school program, the Superintendent has established the following criteria, which student activity programs must meet.

  1. Student activities are those school activities that are voluntarily engaged in by students, have the approval of the school administration and do not carry credit toward promotion or graduation.
  2. Proposals for new clubs must be submitted by March 1st for the following year.
  3. If supported by the District, new clubs will be approved by April 1st.
  4. The attached form should be used when submitting a request to create a new club.
  5. In an attempt to gauge interest and commitment, new clubs must be organized, established, and active for a year prior to compensation being approved for the advisor(s).
  6. Advertising for advisorships of new clubs will follow the requirements of the CTA collective bargaining agreement.
  7. Activities should be held after classes are dismissed, or at an appropriate time during the school day.
  8. Activities at any level should be unique, not duplications of others already in operation.
