Objectives: • Participation will improve athletic knowledge and motor skills necessary for success. • Participation helps students learn self-discipline and build self-confidence. • Participation fosters the development of skills needed to work collaboratively with others for a common goal. • Participants will reflect principles of integrity, hard work and excellence. • Participants will appreciate the benefits of hard work, motivation and perseverance in both victory and defeat.

The values of good citizenship and high behavioral standards apply equally to all activity disciplines. In perception and practice, good sportsmanship shall be defined as those qualities of behavior which are characterized by generosity and genuine concern for others. Good sportsmanship is viewed by the National Federation as a concrete measure of the understanding and commitment to fair play, ethical behavior and integrity.” Our society has a history of discrimination in sports against females, racial minorities and the disabled. It is our responsibility to recognize and correct this in our small worlds, on our teams and in our neighborhoods.

ACADEMIC REQUIREMENTS Effective Fall 2011 A. A student who wishes to participate must achieve at least a 2.0 Grade Point Average (GPA) on the last report card prior to the season or activity period. If a report card is issued during a season or activity period, a student must remain eligible in order to participate. Because winter and spring activities, in most cases, begin prior to the end of the grading period which determines eligibility for the major part of the season, an individual will be allowed to try out and practice, but not participate in games or other competitions until grades are available for the grading period in question. Students who then become ineligible will not be allowed to continue to practice/participate. Transfer students will be required to meet the Minneapolis eligibility requirements during their first quarter in the Minneapolis Public Schools. 1. Grade Point Average (GPA) will be computed using all classes in which a student is enrolled. Credit/non-credit classes will not be counted in the Grade Point Average (GPA). 2. Students participating in athletics must be enrolled as a full time student at their high school. Seniors who may not need to take the required amount of credits each quarter/semester/trimester to graduate will have their GPA figured on the number of credits taken if less than the number required. 3. A student must qualify on both 1 and 2 above. 4. For entering ninth graders, starting in the fall of 2005, the first grading period will be a probationary period for students who do not meet the 2.00 GPA. This probationary period is limited to participation during the second grading period of the ninth grade year. These students would be granted one probationary quarter during the second grading period, provided they earn a minimum of 3 credits. Following the probationary period, the students would be required to meet the full 2.00 GPA required as well as other requirements of the policy. 5. The Minnesota State High School League (Bylaw 407.00) defines eligibility as “making satisfactory progress toward graduation”. The new Minneapolis policy does not require eligibility to be determined on a cumulative GPA. Students are required to maintain 3.75 credits per quarter on a cumulative credit basis. At the end of the ninth grade, satisfactory progress is 15.00 credits, the end of tenth grade is 30.00 credits, the end of eleventh is 45.00 credits and seniors graduate with a minimum of 64.50 credits. A student who is ineligible because of too few credits may regain eligibility by attending two consecutive quarters and earning 3.75 during each for a total of 7.50 credits. If the second quarter is the quarter prior to participation, then the student must also have a 2.00 GPA or better. The regaining of eligibility as described is automatic and determined at the building level. NEW QUARTER SYSTEM w w w 2.00 GPA previous grading period 3.75 credits two quarters in a row to regain eligibility (if behind in credit) Grade th 9 th 10 th 11 th 12 First Quarter 3 18.75 33.75 48.75 Second Quarter 7.50 22.50 37.50 52.50 Third Quarter 11.25 26.25 41.25 56.25 Minimum Credits (Fourth Quarter) 15.00 30.00 45.00 Graduate District Appeals Committee: If a lengthy non-attending absence is caused by illness or any other unusual circumstance, the student’s parents, guardian, or the student if he/she is legally emancipated, may appeal in writing to the District Appeals Committee for an exception to the rule. The following criteria must be met to remain eligible: a. A student granted the appeal must have weekly monitoring of their academic progress. Students must be making satisfactory progress as determined by classroom teachers. If the students are not making satisfactory progress in any class he/she will be ineligible for any contest, but will be able to practice until the following weekly monitoring, where they can regain their eligibility. Monitoring will be completed the Thursday of each week by the school administrator or his/her designee. b. The student must be in attendance for every class, if they are absent from class they are ineligible to practice or play on that day of activity. c. Students removed from instruction or suspended are not eligible to participate in co-curricular or extra-curricular activities on the day they are removed from instruction, or during the day of the suspension. d. At the end of the quarter, students must earn a 2.0 for the grading period. If a 2.0 GPA for the quarter is not achieved the student will be declared ineligible. e. This is a one-time appeal and, no additional appeals will be granted under this policy. 6. B. Spring Quarter will be used to determine eligibility for the following Fall. A student (grades 10-12) must have a 2.00 GPA for the number of classes required during Spring Quarter to be eligible for the following Fall. Summer school credits will be computed as follows: If the summer class is the same as the spring class where a poor grade was received, the grade achieved during the summer will replace the spring grades and then averaged to determine the Grade Point Average (GPA). If the summer class is an additional class, the grade achieved during the summer will be added to the spring grades and then averaged to determine the Grade Point Average (GPA). Early college grades will also be computed as a part of the Grade Point Average (GPA). Miscellaneous Academic Provisions An “incomplete” grade is considered a failure (F) until the required course work is completed. The GPA will then be recomputed. Declaration Date for Eligibility - Students who fail to achieve a 2.00 GPA will become ineligible on the second Monday following the end of the previous quarter. This procedure must be followed by all high schools and replaces individual school procedures. Exception Procedures A. A student with less than a 2.00 GPA may appeal in writing to the District Committee for an exception to the rule. All appeals must be made by the parent or guardian unless the student is legally emancipated. In that case, the student may request an appeal. B. The District Committee may grant such an exception if the low grades were not the result of poor attendance or poor social/work habits. C. The District Committee will consist of the Director of Athletics, a representative from the Office of Academic Affairs and a teacher appointed by each of the comprehensive high school principals. The teacher representatives will serve for two years with half of the committee completing their two year term each year maintaining several experienced teachers each year. At each meeting there will be only one representative from each senior high. D. An Executive Committee will meet prior to appeals hearings to determine eligibility for students having extremely sensitive extenuating circumstances that would add to the burden of a student addressing the District committee. The Executive Committee will consist of the Associate Superintendent responsible for Athletics and the Director of Athletics. E. The Principal, coaches or his/her designee(s) of each high school student requesting an exception may appear before the Committee to observe or present information pertinent to the case. The student, his/her parents and/or a representative may be present at the hearing to observe or present evidence to the Committee. Deliberations and voting will take place after all the parties concerned are excused from the hearing. F. In the event a student feels the student or teacher representative from his/her school could not render a fair decision or would create an uncomfortable atmosphere, the student may ask the school representative to be excused from the hearing. If the decision is to excuse the committee member, the chairperson will excuse the member in question from the individual hearing and vote. G. The District Appeals Committee shall meet and render a decision within five (5) working days after having received a written request for an appeal. The student will receive a written notice of the result of the hearing. If an exception is granted, rationale for granting it will be so stated and a copy filed with the Superintendent. All appeals will be processed by the office of the Director of Athletics. H. A building committee consisting of an administrator, the Athletic Director and a staff member would review Academic Appeals for Eligibility and will restore eligibility to individuals who meet the criteria established by the Athletic Council. Students who meet the following criteria will not have to attend the Citywide Academic Appeals for Eligibility and will be declared eligible by the Building Committee. 1. 2. 3. 4. I. A student would have less than a 2.00 GPA for the quarter prior to participation. A student would have five (5) or less absences per quarter in each of the classes taken during the quarter in question, and No more than: a. Two fails b. Two no-credits c. Combination of one fail and one no-credit The teacher in each class where the student received less than a C grade must verify that the student was making an honest effort to achieve in class and was not disruptive. A student with an overall 2.00 GPA or higher will be eligible, no appeal needed, if they do not meet the 2.00 GPA the previous quarter. The student must meet with the Building Athletic Director for approval. All students receiving less than a 2.00 GPA who choose to appeal and do not meet the above requirements must use the citywide process. The Building Committee will use the regular forms for Appeals. All paperwork for students declared eligible at the building must be forwarded to the Central Office Athletic Department and a copy kept on file in each building. J. The Committee shall maintain a record of all such exceptions and the Superintendent shall review and make periodic reports to the Board concerning them. K. Authorized Fees: Requires a school board to charge public and home school students the same admission fees or charges for attending or participating in the school district’s optional extracurricular activities. L. Notification to commissioner on cooperative sponsorships: Requires the school district to report to the Commissioner of the Minnesota Department of Education information about each decision to deny a home school a cooperative sponsorship under the Minnesota State High School League rules or otherwise deny a home school student an opportunity to participate in a district’s extracurricular activities.

This rule applies to current siblings who are th th attending a high school. A student in 7 or 8 grade may decide to participate at the same high school that their sibling is currently attending. If a sibling does decide to attend the school not in their attendance area, they then give up the option of participating at their home attendance school.

Changes in Policies that affect YOU! The Attendance Policy Attendance – Policy 5100 Amended On April 13, 2010 the Board of Education amended Policy 5100 – Attendance. The Superintendent has promulgated Regulations 5100 A – Rules and Procedures: Attendance, 5100 B – Attendance Expectations and Interventions, and 5100 C – Enforcement of Compulsory Instruction. This policy and these regulations can now be found on the Policy pages of the District website @ http://policy.mpls.k12.mn.us/5000_Students.html . Just click on the pdf document button for Policy 5100, or Regulations 5100 A, 5100 B and 5100 C to download the policy and regulations. Things that stay the same: • Suspension and removal from instruction may NOT be used as a consequence for tardiness. • Adult students (students 18 years of age or over) may provide their own excuses for absences, and are subject to the same rules as parents are for students under age 18. • A 95% in school on time expectation for all students, Pre-‐K – Grade 12. Changes you should know about for all staff: • The attendance policy now applies to students enrolled in High-‐Five. Although continued absence by a High-‐Five student will result in a referral for educational neglect, a student who has fifteen (15) consecutive, unexcused absences may be withdrawn from High-‐Five and their place given to another on the program’s waiting list. • There is an additional requirement that students who have either an IEP or a 504 plan, whose plan activities require their absence from some classes must not be recorded as absent. Knowledge of the terms of student’s IEPs and 504 plans are therefore required of all persons required to take attendance on a daily or hourly basis. • Rules surrounding appropriate excuses, and requirements for advance notice for some absences have changed. As these are numerous, please refer to Regulation 5100 A – especially Section II.E. • For the purpose of eligibility for co-‐curricular or extra-‐curricular activities (including athletics), an unexcused absence in one or more classes in one school day makes the student ineligible to participate in those activities on that same day. • Students experiencing academic difficulties may be restricted from participating in co-‐curricular activities occurring during school hours upon consultation with the student’s parent. • Students removed from instruction or suspended are not eligible to participate in co-‐curricular or extra-‐curricular activities on the day they are removed from instruction, or during the days of the suspension (including athletics). • Schools are expected to develop their own procedures and school rules to address tardiness. Those rules and procedures must be consistent with the values stated in the attendance policy and regulations. Notice of the school’s tardy rules and procedures must be given to parents and adult students along with the attendance policy. (this can be accomplished through handbooks, welcome back packets, and the like). Changes you should know about for teachers: • Teachers must provide an opportunity for students to make up work missed due to excused absences. Teachers should establish a reasonable time limit to complete the work, given all circumstances. Once that time limit is established, it is the student’s responsibility to meet it. Teachers are not required to give extensions. • Teachers may NOT use absences or tardies (excused or unexcused) ALONE to affect a student’s grade, or evaluation of progress toward meeting a standard. • Teachers may provide an opportunity for students to make up work missed due to an unexcused absence, but are not required to do so. Teachers should consider the student’s best interests in making such decisions. Changes you should know about for attendance clerks and others responsible for entering attendance codes: • All excuses must be offered to the school within three school (3) weeks after the first day of the absence. • Changes in attendance codes after that time limit must be made only by the principal, except for clerical errors. Changes you should know about for school nurses: • Regulation 5100 A ¶II.E.3.a)[ii] and [iii] permits you to approve requests for excused absences for illnesses, without requiring an outside health care provider’s verification, upon consultation with the parent or adult student. Changes you should know about for principals: • You must work with your school community to develop rules and procedures that address tardiness. These rules and procedures must be consistent with the attendance values stated in the policy and regulations. • You must approve any change in an entered attendance code that is requested more than three (3) weeks after the first day of the absence. • You are responsible for considering requested excuses that require advance approval. These are: o religious observance o cultural observance (must be District recognized – contact your associate superintendent if unsure) o family activity – requires a ten (10) advance request, and is limited to no more than five (5) days within one school year, and cannot be during state testing dates. o college visits (limited to two (2) days per year. o non-‐district sponsored competitions or events. • You have the discretion to grant excuses for other absences for activities or events that due to their confidential nature should not be otherwise identified to protect the privacy interests of the student or the student’s family. • You are the first step in any appeal from a parent regarding an entered attendance code. • Parents may appeal to your appropriate superintendent any attendance decision you make, including those decisions regarding prior notice applications (see above). • You are responsible to make sure that the attendance policy and any school rules regarding tardiness are given to all parents and adult students. Questions regarding the policy or regulations may be directed to the Director of Policy Development, Nan Miller at [email protected] or 612-‐668-‐0384. Attendance Procedures and Requirements (Effective 2010/11 School Year) For the purpose of eligibility for co-curricular activities (including athletics), an unexcused absence in one or more classes in one school day makes the student ineligible to participate in those activities on the same day. A. Students experiencing academic difficulties may be restricted from participating in co-curricular activities occurring during school hours upon consultation with the student’s parent. B. Students removed from instruction or suspended are not eligible to participate in co-curricular or extracurricular activities on the day they are removed from instruction, or during the days of the suspension (including athletics). Suspension Rule: (Effective 2/24/09) If a student is suspended from school he/she will not be allowed to participate in any athletic contest for the remainder of the school day, regardless if the student is re-admitted back to school on the same day of the suspension. Student must also serve entire suspension before he/she is allowed to practice or participate in any contest. Game Suspensions for the Minneapolis Public Schools Attendance Rule When counting contests for suspensions in the Minneapolis Public Schools Attendance Policy, the MSHSL definition of contests will be employed. (Example: volleyball or wrestling tournament - 1 contest each basketball, baseball, soccer, etc. game = contest). Also, athletes that participate at more than one level of competition cannot pair these contests for the purpose of serving the penalty. Suspensions are at their primary level of participation and contest at all other levels that may fall between contests. Exemptions The only class absences that are exempt from this rule and regulation are those that occur when the school requires the student to participate in an alternate activity, or when such absences are due to official religious observances. The Superintendent of Schools or his/her designee, is responsible for identifying the activities for which students may be exempted. In each case, the school (or governmental agency) stipulates the place of attendance other than the classroom. Approved Required Activities 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. 9. Administration of the district’s testing program Instructional field trips Athletic contests Court ordered appearances Absences due to district error such as late arriving school buses Activities requested by school or district personnel such as student council, academic appeals hearing committee, etc. Death in immediate family (5 days maximum). The Building Athletic Director may require proof from the student Absence due to medical reason (written excuse with doctor’s stamp required) Fall 2010 – College visits (Limited to two (2) days per year.) Other activities resulting in absences from the classroom that are school-related or school-sponsored but which are voluntarily participated in by the student are not exempt. Students who participate in any approved school-sponsored activity of more than one-day’s duration shall have no more than one-day’s absence charged against them per activity. Students in the Minneapolis Federation of Alternative Schools and other special sites that are part of the district must conform to this rule. Attendance at citywide or student council activities does not constitute absence from school. Students will be allowed to participate in the game.

SUPERVISION OF STUDENT GROUPS AT ATHLETIC GAMES INSTRUCTIONS OR SUGGESTIONS TO SUPERVISORS The faculty supervisor of students at athletic games is hired to perform a job. Arrangements have been made for this special help to assure exemplary student conduct. It has been our observation that a supervisor cannot properly know what is going on and perform the job of supervision if he or she merely takes a seat and becomes an interested spectator. We wish, therefore, to suggest that supervisors be instructed as follows: 1. They should arrive at the site thirty (30) minutes prior to the beginning of an athletic contest. 2. They should be on their feet and moving about wherever their schools’ students congregate. This means through the balcony, into the hallways and occasionally through the lavatories on an inspection. 3. Tobacco, alcohol and other mood-altering chemicals will not be tolerated in any area. 4. Throwing debris is a common annoyance that will not be tolerated. 5. Fighting of any kind is not to be permitted. 6. Make your identity known to the police officers on duty and have them assist you when dealing with difficult situations. 7. Do not tolerate abusive or profane language by students. 8. Report to the Building Athletic Director the names of any students that may need to be disciplined at the individual school. 9. Supervisors should remain until all students have left the playing site. 10. Each supervisor is to wear an identifying badge. 11. If the supervisors have any suggestions, please refer them to the contest manager. 12. Do not permit student signs to be displayed. Only official signs are permitted. Noisemakers such as sirens, horns, etc. are not permitted. GENERAL INFORMATION I. Transportation A. B. Policy pertaining to transportation regulations 1. The dismissal time for squad members is the responsibility of the principal of the school involved. 2. Any deviation from the transportation time schedule on an individual school basis is the responsibility of the principal of the particular school. 3. The transportation time schedule on an individual school basis is the responsibility of the principal of the particular school. 4. Any changes to the transportation time schedule that involve all the conference schools should be submitted to the Athletic Council according to amendment procedures. 5. The coach, assistant coach or designated adult must accompany each chartered bus. Transportation Procedures 1. All requests for athletic transportation where the costs are charged to the central budget, shall be submitted to the field trip office by the Building Athletic Director. 2.

It is helpful to the operation to have trip requests submitted at least one week in advance. Trip requests submitted to the Field Trip Office less than forty-eight (48) hours in advance (two full school days) will be processed with bus rental costs assessed to the school and not the central budget. 3. It is the responsibility of each Building Athletic Director to monitor all athletic trip requests submitted to the Field Trip Office. Whenever duplicate requests are submitted and it results in an additional bus charge, that charge will be assessed to the school rather than the central budget. 4. Requests for changing trip arrangements may be submitted by telephone up to forty-eight (48) hours (two full school days) in advance of the trip. 5. Requests to cancel a prearranged trip will be accepted from the Building Athletic Director or coach in charge of the activity. Requests to cancel should be submitted as soon as possible, but at least two hours before the trip to avoid show-up charges. All show-up charges will be assessed to the school and not the central budget. 6. The District Athletic Office does not cover motor coach expenses. a) For same day trips, the requesting school is responsible for the difference between the standard yellow school bus rate and the motor coach rate. b) For overnight trips the requesting school will be responsible for the difference between the standard yellow school bus rate and the motor coach rate. Please make sure to remember to include a room for the bus driver when booking your hotel rooms, this room is also the expense of the requesting school. 7. For trips out of the city, use authorized common carrier or private cars adequately covered by insurance. The use of privately-owned automobiles for transporting athletic teams must be approved. Guidelines for the procedures are contained in the document entitled “Transportation Procedures for Interschool Athletics.” 8. When common carrier is provided for all contestants, there will be no reimbursement for private cars. II. Ticket and Pass Procedures A. Tickets 1.

INTRODUCTION It is important that all school personnel involved with athletics prepare themselves to prevent accidents and to maintain a safe environment within the various outdoor and indoor arenas for athletic participation. It is important that when schools provide equipment for athletics, the equipment is safe and provides the protection intended. It is also expected that all coaches will instruct the athletes they are responsible for in the proper skills and techniques for their particular sport to provide the safest atmosphere possible. Even though all possible areas for safety have been addressed, because of the nature of the activity, we can assume that accidents will occur. With this in mind, the Athletic Department offers this Emergency Plan for Athletic Injuries. II. ACCIDENT REPORT SYSTEM When injuries occur, the coach in charge is responsible for completing the "Student (or non-employee) Accident/Incident Report", Form 119. The following injuries should be reported: A. B. C. D. E. Any injury requiring care beyond that given in school. Any injury with recommendation to parents, guardians or designee for a medical follow-up. Accidents with any type of head injury. Even a slight head injury may result in symptoms of further injury the student leaves the supervision of the coach. The parent, guardian or designee should be notified of injuries. A report should include information on who was contacted and how the contact was made. Any injury of an unusual nature or as a result of an unusual circumstance, e.g., poisoning, overdose, etc. Assault and battery. after all head Form 119 should be submitted on the first work day following the incident to the Health Services Office in the Special Education Center. (No copy should be kept at the school.) The Building Athletic Director should keep a list of all accident reports filed, to include the name of the injured athlete, date of the accident and date the form was sent to the Health Services Office. When the injury is considered serious, it is necessary to also inform by phone, as soon as possible, the Building Athletic Director who will notify the Principal and Director of Athletics. The Director of Athletics is responsible for notifying the Associate Superintendent for Secondary Education and the Health Services Office. Injuries that fall in the serious category are as follows: A. B. C. D. E. F. G. H. An injury that is life threatening. An ambulance is called. The victim suffers a compound fracture. Dismemberments. Head injury requiring immediate medical care. Questionable third degree burns. Any injury of an unusual nature of as a result of an unusual circumstance, e.g., poisoning, overdose, etc. Assault and battery. When an injury occurs and a concern is expressed by the coach as to whether or not an accident report should be filed, the Athletic Department suggests that the coach file the report. III. WHEN AN INJURY OCCURS All persons employed by the district are responsible for administering first aid to injured students within the limits of their proficiency. On the athletic field the coach in charge assumes this responsibility. Attempting to render first aid care beyond the level of one's proficiency can be grounds for legal action against the school personnel. Minnesota Statute section 604.05, commonly known as the "Good Samaritan Law" reads as follows: "No person, who in good faith and in the exercise of reasonable care renders emergency care at the scene of an emergency, is liable for any civil damages as a result of acts or omissions by such person in rendering the emergency care." Thus, any coach rendering proper initial first aid to an athlete, such as stopping bleeding, cleansing a wound, placing a bandage over a scrape, etc., is free from civil liability pursuant to this statute if done with due caution and common sense. The coach in charge is responsible for any athlete on his or her team who is injured regardless of whether the team is the home team or the visiting team. If a trainer has been assigned to a contest, the trainer will advise the coach as to the proper action to take. If an injury occurs that requires advanced or professional emergency care and a 911 call is necessary, the following procedure should be employed: A. B. C. D. E. The most knowledgeable first aid person should remain with the injured athlete. Send a responsible person, who understands the situation, to call 911 and the parent, guardian or designee. Also, the caller should explain to the 911 dispatcher and the parent where the best access point to the injured person is to include street and number and the closest gate opening or door. An example would be the "northeast door on the 49th Street side." Send a responsible person (with a key if necessary) to the access point to meet all emergency vehicles and/or parents and direct them to the accident scene. If it is necessary to transport the injured athlete to the hospital and the parent is not available, a responsible person should accompany the athlete in the ambulance to the hospital. The coach should have someone continue to try and reach the parent. If the parent cannot be reached by the end of the athletic activity the coach should contact the hospital as to the condition of the injured athlete and determine further action. In the event contact was not made with the parent/guardian, the coach in charge is responsible for writing an account of the incident and mailing it to the parent/guardian. The "Student (or non-employee) Accident/Incident Report", Form 119, should be completed on the first work day following the injury and submitted to the Health Services Office. IV. RETURN TO PARTICIPATION If an injury requires medical attention, the attending physician must verify the athlete capable of returning to participation before he or she resumes participation. (Forms are available from the Building Athletic Director.) V. EMERGENCY NOTIFICATION LIST The coach in charge must have available at all times, when the team is practicing or playing, an emergency notification list which should include: A. B. C. D. E. The athlete's name and address. The name of the parent, guardian or designee. An emergency telephone number, home and work for the person above. An additional person who may be called if the parent cannot be reached, to include a home and work telephone number. Family physician if applicable. VI. ACCESS POINTS FOR PRACTICE AND CONTEST SITES The Building Athletic Director at each school is responsible for providing a plan for directing emergency personnel and/or parents to the following appropriate access points for: A. B. C. Outdoor athletic fields (on school grounds and at other home sites). The most accessible outside door or entrance for each indoor athletic facility (it may be the same door). The most accessible outside door or entrance to buildings other than the main school building(s) that are used as home game or practice sites (e.g., swimming pools). All coaches should be given a dry run on access points for areas they will be using for that season prior to the start of practice. A map of the access points should be available for coaches and posted on the wall by the telephones that are used to make emergency calls. VII. CLAIMS AGAINST AN ATHLETIC STAFF MEMBER OF THE SCHOOL DISTRICT The school district does not carry accident or medical insurance for students. Those expenses are the responsibility of the student and his/her family. However, school districts have been alleged to be liable for student injuries. Lack of supervision, poor equipment and facilities, or violations of safety practices or procedures are common allegations. The school district carries liability insurance to defend claims of that nature. If a coach is threatened with a liability claim, refer the claimant to the school district's General Counsel/Legal Office. All legal process served on the district should be directed to the Superintendent's Office. Under no circumstances should school personnel admit liability or assure anyone that their damages or claims will be taken care of. Such statements could invalidate your insurance coverage or the school district's coverage. VIII. CONCLUSION Immediate and proper care will provide all injured parties, the best opportunity for a normal recovery and in some cases, the saving of a life. All athletic personnel must familiarize themselves with this plan so that we may provide the safest possible conditions for all Minneapolis Public School athletes.

Philosophy Cheerleading is an important activity and provides a valuable service to the interscholastic athletic program and to school spirit and sportsmanship. The significant role of cheerleaders is to “lead cheers”. Through the leading of cheers, students become a positive influence on the team and other students and fans of the community. The intent of the following rules are not to limit the activities of the cheerleaders, but rather to guide and enhance their experience. II.

Cheerleaders are subject to rules and policies of the Minnesota State High School League regarding pyramids, stunts, mounts and apparatus usage. III. Minneapolis Public Schools Rules The cheerleaders are subject to all academic eligibility and attendance policies established by the school district regarding cocurricular activities and must have a current, signed (yearly) Minneapolis Public Schools Athletic Insurance Eligibility information sheet on file with the Building Athletic Director. IV. Supervision A. B. C. V. Cheer coaches will have the responsibility for the supervision of their cheerleaders. All Practices, including non-school days, must be supervised.

For State Tournament competition, additional cheerleaders, in uniform, are allowed to cheer in the stands. This policy is dictated by the Minnesota State High School League. Starting in the winter of 2006-07 winter season cheerleaders will cheer at home sites only, not at away conference games. VII.

As a representative of their H. I. X. school and the Minneapolis Public Schools, they will be expected to conduct themselves in a mature and responsible manner. Cheerleaders must attempt to act appropriately at all times so as not to be the object of innuendos and insinuations concerning their character and/or behavior.

Participation in the interscholastic program of a high school is limited to students in grades 7 through th 12. Students in an ungraded setting are first eligible when their age peers are in the 7 grade. Student will be eligible for 8 consecutive semester (4 years), beginning with their or their peers initial entrance into the th 9 grade. The MSHSL requires a sports qualifying exam every three (3) years for participants in competitive athletics. The MSHSL acknowledges that some students with disabilities, like some students without disabilities, will be unable to participate in adapted athletics due to the competitive nature of the programs and for reasons unrelated to their disability. Like other students who do not "make the team", these students should be directed to alternative programs which are less competitive and more recreational in nature. Students may not participate in both PI and CI divisions. If a student participates in both divisions the penalty for the use of an ineligible player will be enforced and result in an automatic forfeiture of the game. A. PI Division – The MSHSL Adapted Athletics PI Division program is specifically intended for students with physical impairments who have medical clearance to compete in competitive athletics. A student is eligible to compete in the PI Division with one of the following criteria. The student must have a diagnosed and documented impairment specified from one of the two sections below: (Must be diagnosed and documented by a Physician and/or Physicians Assistant): 1) Neuromuscular, postural/skeletal, traumatic, growth, or neurological impairment that affects motor function, modifies gait patterns, or requires the use of a prosthesis or a mobility device including but not limited to, canes, crutches, or wheelchairs. 2) Cardio/respiratory impairment that is deemed safe for competitive athletics but limits the intensity and duration of physical exertion such that sustained activity for over five minutes at 60% of maximum heart rate for age results in physical distress in spite of appropriate management of the health condition. Note: A condition that can be appropriately managed with appropriate medications, which eliminate physical or health endurance limitations, will NOT be considered to be eligible for adapted athletics. Specific exclusions to PI competition: The following health conditions without coexisting physical impairments as outlined above do not qualify the student to participate in the PI Division even though some of the conditions below may be considered Health Impairments by an individual’s physician, student’s school, or a government agency. This list is not all-inclusive and the conditions are examples of non-qualifying health conditions; other health impairments that are not listed below may also be non-qualifying for participation in the PI Division. • • • • • • • • Attention Deficit Disorder (ADD) Attention Deficit Hyperactive Disorder (ADHD) Emotional Behavioral Disorder (EBD) Autism Spectrum Disorders (including Asperger’s Syndrome) Tourette’s Syndrome Neurofibromatosis Asthma Reactive Airway Disease (RAD) • • • • Bronchopulmonary Dysplasia (BPD) Blindness Deafness Obesity • • • • Depression Generalized Anxiety Disorder Seizure Disorder Other Similar Disorders B. CI Division – The MSHSL Adapted Athletics CI Division program is specifically intended for students with cognitive impairments who have medical clearance to compete in competitive athletics. A student is eligible to compete in the CI Division with the following criteria. The student must have a diagnosed and documented cognitive impairment. Cognitively impaired refers to students with sub-average intellectual function defined by a Full Scale intelligence quotient of 70 or below, using a standardized, nationally-normed, technically adequate, and individually administered intelligence test. Specific exclusions from CI competition: A student becomes ineligible to participate in Adapted Athletics when they have attained a level of cognitive performance that exceeds the eligibility requirements. A student whose Full Scale IQ score increased above 70 after the start of a season will be permitted to complete that sports season. Challenges to a student’s eligibility to participate in PI and CI adapted athletics: A school may file a written challenge regarding a student’s eligibility to participate in Adapted Athletics based on the qualifications stated above. Challenges must be submitted within 24 hours of the end of the game in which an alleged ineligible player participated. A challenge submitted after the deadline will not be honored. The student shall remain eligible during the review process. The committee’s findings will be final and follow the student through the remaining years of eligibility unless there is a change in physical or cognitive status. Upon receipt of a written challenge the MSHSL will activate the following review process: A. Request of a brief statement from the school/coach supporting the eligibility of the athlete. B. Review of the school’s/coach’s submission and the school’s supporting data (testing, medical history, school documentation) by one reviewer who will submit a brief written statement regarding the eligibility status. C. Appeal Process: If the initial finding is appealed, a panel of three (3) reviewers will be convened. Two (2) of these reviewers must be from different disciplines (MD, Adapted PE teacher, PT, etc). The school/coach will be asked to submit a video of the player during a game or during PE class that will best demonstrate the disability. The video will be at the schools expense.
