NORTHEASTERN LOCAL SCHOOL DISTRICT

STUDENT ATHLETE SECTION

The Athletic Council and School Administration and Board of Education of the Northeastern Local School District strongly believe that certain standards of behavior, scholarship and citizenship are important to a sound athletic program and that expectation, sometimes beyond those required of non-athletes, may be imposed upon those who present themselves as athletes.

We believe that the athlete has a strong influence in the community, the school and among fellow students. We feel that good habits of health, deportment and scholarship are important to the school and its athletic program; we can find little reason for such a program unless such standards exist.

For this reason the following regulations will be in effect during the time in which the athlete is in active participation in any interscholastic sport. It has been established in the courts that participation in extracurricular activities is referred to as a privilege.

 

The Athletic Code of Conduct is in enforceable year round, which includes all district holidays and vacations (24 hours per day, 365 days per year). Once the Athletic Department has your signature on file the Athletic Code of Conduct is in effect for your entire athletic career in the Northeastern Local School District. Your possession of these rules and the fact that your have signed an acknowledgement of and had these rules reviewed with you by a schools staff member (Coach/advisor/administrator) constitutes a first warning; no further warnings will be given to you. It is your responsibility to familiarize yourself with these rules and consequences of violating them.
