Wautoma Area School District
Approved 02/14/02
Although cognizant of the values, both social and scholastic, derived by students participating in various community sponsored activities; the following points should be used by principals in determining whether or not pupils may participate in such activities during school hours:
1. The participation in the project will not deprive students of time needed in acquiring basic skills.
2. The regular schedule will not be interrupted unless the majority of the students benefit through their participation.
3. Neither an individual nor the school as a whole shall be permitted to use school time in working on community sponsored projects unless such an undertaking is contributing to the educational program.
