Code of Conduct for Interscholastic Activities

The Board believes that employees, volunteers and students, participating at school functions or school-sponsored events whether they be outside school grounds, should act accordingly as representatives of their school and the district. For that reason, the Board expects that employees, volunteers and students will behave in a courteous, civil, respectful and dignified way when representing their school.

Coaches are expected to conduct themselves professionally as a model of behavior for the student athletes. To clearly outline expectations of acceptable conduct, employee or volunteer coaches may be required to sign an acknowledgement form to indicate them they understand and will comply with the district's acceptable code of conduct for interscholastic activities.

Employees, volunteers and students are expected to demonstrate the following behavior when representing the school:

  • Display good sportsmanship at all times;
  • Show respect for authority;
  • Show respect for referees, umpires and officials;
  • Show respect toward teammates:
  • Compete and train in a fair and ethical manner to the best of their ability,
  • Show courtesy to the opposing team or competitor;
  • Show courtesy to all visitors and fans:
  • Comply with rules of etiquette or conduct of the governing body of interscholastic activities;
  • Comply with other action as directed by the superintendent, superintendent's designee, supervisor or other person in authority.

Employees, volunteers and students are expected to refrain from any behavior that is unsportsmanlike, disrespectful, or in violation of Oregon School Activities Association {OSAA) rules.

Employees, volunteers or students who violate OSAA rules or this policy may be subject to discipline, including removal from participation in interscholastic activities or expulsion from school. Employees, volunteers or students in violation of OSAA rules may be required to remunerate the district in the event fines are assessed by OSAA as a direct result of their actions that are in violation of this policy.

Students, staff and volunteers may be required to sign an acceptable code of conduct agreement before they are permitted to partake in a specific type of interscholastic activity. The superintendent designee will be responsible for establishing any administrative regulations.
