The Superintendent, using input from coaches and sponsors of high school co-curricular activities, students and parents of students involved in high school co-curricular activities, athletic directors and deans of student activities, shall develop a Co- Curricular Participation Code (“the Code”) for all participants in co-curricular activities. The Code shall be subject to Board of Education approval. The Code should provide and give notice to participants that failure to abide by the Code could result in their suspension from co-curricular participation for up to one calendar year. Participants who violate the conduct code will be allowed to give an explanation before being progressively disciplined.

General Information

This information shall be considered the High School Co-Curricular Participation Code and is prepared for the benefit of prospective and current students at District 203 high schools and for their parents. In addition to the Code, participants in co- curricular activities must abide by Board Policy 7:190 Student Behavior, Board Policy 7:180 Bullying, Intimidation and Harassment, and Illinois High School Association (IHSA) requirements. Additionally, participants may be asked to follow certain activity-specific rules and commitments that will be made known to the participants by school staff members and/or school announcements.

Coaches and sponsors of interscholastic athletic programs shall provide instruction on steroid abuse prevention to students in grades 7 through 12 participating in the programs.

Please note: Parents, as well as sponsors, are expected to be responsible for requiring that their participants adhere to the Code. All co-curricular participants and their parents are expected to sign the Co-Curricular Participation Code, which is provided to them at registration. Failure by a participant or parent to sign does not exclude participants from being held accountable under the Code.

Parents and family members are expected not to host a party for high school students at which illegal consumption of alcohol and/or use of controlled substances, steroids, or look-alike drugs occur.

Philosophy

The co-curricular activities in District 203 high schools are organized to allow for the fullest possible participation for those students willing to make a definite commitment to co-curricular activities.

Participating in co-curricular activities is viewed by District 203 high schools as a worthwhile endeavor to enhance adolescent development. Participation in co-curricular activities is a privilege and, as such, carries certain expectations. Co-curricular means all activities offered by District 203 high schools in addition to the curricular offerings. The important goals of the co- curricular activities are to offer participants direction in developing healthful living habits, discipline, leadership, teamwork, citizenship skills, and respect for structure, rules, and responsibilities. It is to these ends that a “Code” is established for those students choosing to take part in the co-curricular activities program. Every student who chooses or is chosen to be a participant in a co-curricular activity will be offered the opportunity to practice, and whenever possible, to participate in events, contests and activities relative to their demonstrated abilities.

Important advantages of individual initiative, character, and teamwork can be developed only when there is team cooperation with established procedures. Team success without such cooperation is deemed impossible. No attempt to infringe on a student’s individual rights is intended, and such standards and procedures are applied to participants with the knowledge and recognition that the established goals of character development, team spirit and morale and success cannot be achieved by any other alternative.

Participants in co-curricular activities are required to conduct themselves as good citizens and exemplars of

their school and school district at all times, including  after  school,  on days  when school is not in session, and whether on or off school property. Participants are strictly prohibited from engaging and in hazing and bullying activities. A failure to abide by the cCode could result in discipline, up to and including removal from the activity. The Code is in effect at all times, 12 months a year, in season or out of season, whether school is in session or not, on or off school property.

Participation Fee

The Board of Education annually establishes a fee assessed to each participant in most co-curricular activities. Rules for Co-Curricular Participation

Participants in co-curricular activities in District 203 will be obligated to observe the District 203 Student Behavior Policy 7:190 and the Bullying, Intimidation, and Harassment Policy 7:180, as well as the following established requirements.

Following an investigation into all misconduct, tThe school administration is authorized to discipline students under this Code for gross disobedience, misconduct, or conduct inconsistent with District 203 expectations as outlined in Board Policies 7:190 and 7:180. Students engaged in co-curricular participation are expected to exhibit leadership and good citizenship skills, and are additionally prohibited from attending a function where there is illegal consumption of alcohol, use of controlled substances, cannabis, steroids, or look-alike drugs.

Violations of the above are considered together in terms of determining 1st, 2nd, and 3rd offenses, and are cumulative over a student’s high school career.

Participants who violate the Code will be allowed to give an explanation before being progressively disciplined. Consequences for misconduct will be reviewed and issued in collaboration with the Deans of Students, Deans of Student Activities, Athletic Directors, and/or the Principal. For matters of misconduct where the administration is unclear regarding the extent of a student’s involvement, the administration may consider contextual information and circumstantial evidence provided during the investigation into the misconduct to determine the severity of the misconduct and the assigned consequence(s).

CONSEQUENCES FOR CO-CURRICULAR PARTICIPATION CODE VIOLATIONS

1. 1st Offense

Suspension from co-curricular participation for the number of regularly scheduled contests listed in Table I, Column 1 and/or the activity participation listed in Table II, Column 1. (Please refer to Adm. Reg. 7.240-E for these tables.) Possible requirement for appropriate follow up, such as mediation or meeting with the counselor. The participant may be required to practice with his/her team during this period of suspension.

Carry Over: If the season for a co-curricular activity does not allow the participant to successfully complete the suspension, the suspension will carry over to the next season in which participation occurs. No awards for such participant will be given until the suspension is completed.

Self-Admission: Self-admission of any behavior that could be construed as a violation of the Code without the knowledge of law enforcement, civil or school authorities may result in the consequences for a 1st Offense being waived. The purpose of this option is to provide a mechanism in which the participant can receive assistance.

Assessment: An assessment at parent/student expense will be required of all 1st offense violations that involve drugs, alcohol, steroids or other controlled substances, look-alike drugs or related paraphernalia. The assessment program must be approved by the school Dean of Students and the results of the assessment will be released to the Dean of Students. Failure to obtain an assessment will result in continued suspension from the activity for up to one calendar year.

2. 2nd Offense

Suspension from co-curricular participation for the time listed on Table I, Column 2, or Table II, Column 2 of the next regular season of participation, or the current season. The participant may be required to practice/meet with their activity during this period of suspension. (Please refer to Adm. Reg. 7.240-E for these tables.)

Before regaining eligibility from a 2nd offense violation, participants must arrange for and hold a meeting involving the participant, parent(s) and the administrator overseeing the program. The purpose of this meeting will be to discuss efforts undertaken by the student and family to correct problems. Failure to hold such a meeting will result in continued suspension from the activity for up to one calendar year.

Students suspended for a second offense or an offense treated as a second offense, where less than half of the regular season remains, may continue to rehearse/practice with the team, but will not be able to participate in any competitions for the term of the suspension. However, if the coach and administrator in charge determine that the student is engaged in inappropriate behavior, the student will no longer be allowed to continue to rehearse/practice with the team for the term of the suspension.

Assessment: An assessment at parent/student expense will be required of all 2nd offense violations that involve drugs, alcohol, cannabis, steroids or other controlled substances, look- alike drugs or related paraphernalia. The assessment program must be approved by the school Dean of Students and the results of the assessment will be released to the Dean of Students.

Failure to obtain an assessment will result in continued suspension from the activity for up to one calendar year. Second offense consequences may be reduced to first offense consequence level if the recommendation for treatment from the professional assessment is successfully completed at the student’s expense.

3. 3rd and Subsequent Offenses

Suspension from co-curricular participation for one calendar year. Students suspended for a third offense in their high school career or an offense treated as a third offense may continue to rehearse/practice with the team, but will not be able to participate in any competitions for the term of the suspension. However, if the coach and administrator in charge determine that the student is engaged in inappropriate behavior, the student will no longer be allowed to continue to rehearse/practice with the team for the term of the suspension.

Process of Parental Notification and Review

Once administrators have determined that a violation of this Code has occurred, the parents of the student involved will be notified orally and in writing. The parents have a right to request a review of the decision by the high school principal, whose determination is final.

 

 

 

 

Suspension numbers are based on 25% at Step 1 and 50% at Step 2 of the highest number of contests allowed by the IHSA. The number of contests suspended may change based on the actual number of scheduled contests. This determination will be made by the Administrator in charge after review of the current schedule for the sport/activity.

 

All activities added throughout the year will be modeled after parallel clubs already in existence, at the discretion of the Dean of Student Activities.

IHSA Eligibility Rules for 2024-2025 School Year

When you become a member of an interscholastic athletic team at your high school, you will find that both your school and the IHSA will have rules you must follow in order to be eligible for interscholastic sports participation. The IHSA’s rules have been adopted by the high schools which are members of IHSA as part of the Association’s constitution and by- laws.They must be followed as minimum standards for all interscholastic athletic competition in any member school. Your high school may have additional requirements, but they may not be less stringent than these statewide minimums.

The principal of your school is responsible to see that only eligible students represent the school in interscholastic athletics. Any question concerning your athletic eligibility should be referred to your principal, who has a complete copy of all IHSA eligibility rules, including the Association’s due process procedure. Only the IHSA Executive Director is authorized to make formal rulings on eligibility, so if your principal has questions or wishes assistance in answering your questions, the principal should contact the IHSA office.

Information contained here highlights only the most important features of the IHSA by-laws regarding interscholastic athletic eligibility. It is designed to make you aware of major requirements you must meet to be eligible to compete in interscholastic athletics. The information here is only a general description of major by-law provisions and does not contain the statement of the by-laws in their entirety.

You will lose eligibility for interscholastic athletics if you violate IHSA by-laws. Therefore, it is extremely important that you review this material with your parents, your coaches, your athletic director, and your principal to thoroughly understand the IHSA eligibility by-laws and how they relate to you.

Spectator Conduct and Sportsmanship for Athletic and Extra-curricular Events

DuPage Valley Conference Position relative to “Fan/Crowd Behavior:”

The DuPage Valley Conference has a proud history of demonstrating quality sportsmanship, characterized by respect, pride, and a sense of fair play. These qualities have served as the cornerstone of our outstanding interscholastic programs over the years. In- keeping with these exemplary standards the DuPage Valley Conference Board of Control, Athletic Directors, and Coaches created a “Code of Ethics” relative to behavioral expectations for athletes, participants, coaches, sponsors, and spectators. It is our belief that participants and spectators should always conduct themselves in a manner which:

4. • Brings pride and dignity to their respective schools
   • Shows support and encouragement expressed in a positive and constructive manner for players and coaches
   • Demonstrates respect for opposing teams, fans and officials through their comments and behavior.

Behavior which manifests in individual and group cheers directed at individual players, coaches, officials, or rival crowds is considered disparaging, disrespectful and contrary to those standards that we as educators embrace so strongly. Additionally, the nature of this cheering and disrespect can create an unsafe environment for those community members in attendance.

In an attempt to circumvent this inappropriate behavior from further deterioration and to ameliorate overall fan behavior to reflect the high standards we all believe in so strongly, the Principals of the DuPage Valley Conference have agreed that any individual or group of individuals who participates in a cheer that may, or could be considered disrespectful, disparaging or contrary to fostering good sportsmanship will result in the removal of that individual or group from the game or activity immediately. In addition, such persons may be denied admission to school events for up to a year after a Board of Education hearing.

Examples of unsportsmanlike conduct include:

5. • Using vulgar or obscene language
   • Possessing or being under the influence of any alcoholic beverage or illegal substance,
   • Possessing a weapon,
   • Fighting or otherwise striking or threatening another person,
   • Failing to obey instructions of a security officer or school district employee, and
   • Engaging in any activity which is illegal or disruptive

The Superintendent may seek to deny future admission to any person be delivering or mailing a notice, sent by certified mail with return receipt requested at least 10 days before the Board of Education hearing date, containing:

1. The date, time, and place of a Board hearing,
2. A description of the unsportsmanlike conduct,
3. The proposed time period that admission to school events will be denied, and
4. Instructions on how to waive a hearing.

The Board of Education has established a user fee to be assessed to participants in each sport. The fee is determined by the District 203 School Board.

 

 

 

School District 203 does not assume financial responsibility for accidents incurred in participation. Parent’s signatures on this Code indicate that the parents acknowledge this lack of assumption of responsibility and further indicate that the parents’ indemnify and hold the District’s Board Employees and agents harmless from any responsibility for damages or other consent for a son’s/daughter’s participation.

To attempt to avoid the possibility of injury, the participant must follow the coaches’/sponsors’ instructions regarding techniques, training, and team rules at all times and participate within the rules of the activity. Parents and participants should know that, while required precautions regarding blood- borne pathogens will be taken, the danger of accidental exposure to body fluids still exists. All participants are encouraged to follow good hygiene and standard precautionary procedures. Parents and/or participants should communicate any possible exposure to the coach/sponsor or Athletic Trainer.
