Since the policy of the Board of Education is to maintain a co-curricular activities program sufficiently varied to
meet the wide range of vocational, recreational, social, and cultural needs and interests of the students, all
students should be urged to join at least one club or activity.
A. Existing Clubs or Activities

co-curricular and extra-curricular activities and encouraged to participate.
B. New Activities
All new activities shall be approved in the following manner:
1. Requests for new activities should be submitted to the principal and should contain the following:
a. purpose and rationale
b. intended outcomes for students
c. participation
d. plan of operation
e. costs
f. persons in charge
2. The principal will review each request and either accept or reject the request.
3. Upon approval, an activity will be listed as a part of the co-curricular or extra-curricular program, and its
fiscal account established by the principal.
C. Fiscal Compliance
Each activity advisor is to provide the building principal with a periodic update on the fiscal status of the
activity.
