IGDJ Policy - Interscholastic Athletics

The Board believes that students benefit from the experience made possible by participation in school sports. Learning how to deal with success and failure, developing self-discipline, experiencing the successes of teamwork, and developing physical skills are some of the benefits which can come from these programs.

All interscholastic programs will require Board approval and shall operate under the general supervision of the Principal.

Qualified personnel will be assigned to supervise and coach the various sports as needed.

Membership of the High School in the Wyoming High School Activities Association will be subject to the approval of the Board.

The Superintendent or High School Principal will serve as the district's voting representative at all meetings of the athletic associations or conferences in which the district maintains membership. Prior to the association's annual meeting, the Superintendent will present the agenda to the Board for their recommendation.

The eligibility of students to participate in athletic programs will be determined in accordance with the regulations of the WHSAA. However, additional requirements for eligibility may be established from time to time.
