Wautoma Area School District
Approved 08/27/87
Revised 03/28/02
The athletic program in the District is recognized as a vital part of the total educational program. The Board feels an athletic program properly operated provides experience in daily human relations that cannot be found in any other educational contact.
The athletic program shall be designed to give all students an opportunity to develop their interests, attitudes, and skills for future years without damaging their academic development. Sports competition should provide a healthful, enjoyable experience whereby the emotional, mental, social, and physical development of young men and women can be fully achieved.
Sportsmanship should always be of prime importance.
Student athletes must comply with all rules and regulations established by the WIAA, where applicable, and the Board. This policy is cross-referenced with Policy 411-Equal Educational Opportunities.
This policy does not, however, prohibit the District from providing separate programs in interscholastic athletics for males and females if such programs are comparable in type, scope, and support from the District, or from providing separate toilet, locker, and shower facilities.
Discrimination complaints shall be processed in accordance with established procedures.
