Part 1: Maintaining a "GOOD STANDING" status as a student.
Rule # 14 of the Kansas State High School Activities
Association states that in order to be eligible for participation, a
student must be in GOOD STANDING. I know this applies to
competition, however I'm making it a Fall Play rule as well.
*There are several key offenses that will remove a student’s "GOOD
STANDING" status:
1- Failure in the classroom. The student must have
passed at least five classes the previous semester in order to be in GOOD
STANDING for the present semester. The student must also be
enrolled in at least five classes the semester of the production.
"But I'm in the
play" will never be an acceptable excuse for classroom failure.
2- Using, or being under the influence of alcohol,
drugs, or tobacco, at any time during the entire production process
(including, but not limited to, auditions, rehearsals, meetings,
clinics, costume fittings, and performances). A student who is observed,
first offense (by any parent, law-enforcement officer, or
school-district employee), using alcohol, drugs, or tobacco (during
school hours or school-sponsored extra-curricular activities) will
immediately lose their GOOD STANDING status. Also, a student
suspected of being under the influence of alcohol, drugs, or tobacco,
will be referred to an administrator, who will take the steps necessary
to determine whether that student is truly under the influence or not.
If it is determined that the student is under the influence of alcohol,
drugs, or tobacco, that student will immediately lose their GOOD
STANDING status.
*CONSEQUENCES: A student that loses his/her GOOD
STANDING status will promptly be removed from the remainder of the
production process.
Part 2: Attendance.
Concerning rehearsal attendance, the
following shall apply:
- When the director deems it necessary to approach a
performer concerning tardies, it will happen. The director
shall determine the course of action which may include replacement
or removal from the production. (*No student shall
determine this.)
- When the director deems it necessary to approach a
performer concerning absences, it will happen. The director
shall determine the course of action which may include replacement
or removal from the production. (See * in point 1.)
I have read and agree to abide by the above code of conduct. I also
understand and accept the consequences of being declared not in GOOD
STANDING.
