INTERSCHOLASTIC/EXTRACURRICULAR ACTIVITIES
CODE OF CONDUCT

Participation in interscholastic/extracurricular activities in public schools is a privilege. Students participating in these activities are school leaders who are looked up to and emulated by other students. They are role models who represent their school and more importantly, depict its character. With leadership comes additional responsibility and student participants must adhere to high standards of conduct. When students violate these high standards, the school district may withdraw the privilege to participate in interscholastic/extracurricular activities.

1. A student who uses or possesses illegal drugs or alcohol on or off school property shall be suspended from interscholastic/extracurricular activities in compliance with Cobb County Board of Education Regulation JCDAB/C.

2. A student who is arrested for, or charged with, a misdemeanor involving moral turpitude or a felony, shall be automatically suspended from interscholastic/extracurricular activities. The student shall remain suspended from these activities until such time as the matter is resolved in favor of the student.

These guidelines are intended as minimum consequences for the referenced behaviors. Administration and local schools may adopt additional rules and regulations as they deem appropriate and necessary.
