Pursuant to state law, use of a performance-enhancing substance1 by a scholar who seeks to and/or actively does pa1ticipate in interscholastic athletics will result in the loss of eligibility for participation in interscholastic athletics. The Board directs the Superintendent to promulgate rules that describe the length of time for a loss of eligibility for a first, second, and third offense. The Superintendent will establish an appeal process for any decision that imposes a loss of eligibility pursuant to this policy. The decision of the administration will be final and there will be no right to appeal to the Board.
Any loss of eligibility imposed pursuant to this policy will be in addition to any other discipline that may be appropriate to the situation pursuant to the scholar code of conduct handbook.
1The Department of Community Health, pursuant to law, will publish a list of perfom1ance-enhancing substances that is based upon the list developed by the National Collegiate Athlete Association.
