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.
- 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.
- Proposals for new clubs must be submitted by March 1st for the following year.
- If supported by the District, new clubs will be approved by April 1st.
- The attached form should be used when submitting a request to create a new club.
- 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).
- Advertising for advisorships of new clubs will follow the requirements of the CTA collective bargaining agreement.
- Activities should be held after classes are dismissed, or at an appropriate time during the school day.
- Activities at any level should be unique, not duplications of others already in operation.
