Policy 632 Extra-Curricular Non-School Sponsored Independent Provider and School-Sponsored Community Education Clubs Teams and Activities
I. Purpose
The purpose of this policy is to provide criteria and rationale for the school district’s Community Education Youth Enrichment Program to recognize designated student activities and approve eligibility to award lettering through the use of a non-school sponsored independent provider and school-sponsored Community Education teams/clubs.
A non-school sponsored independent provider is an individual, group, or organization that provides an opportunity for district students to participate in a community or local area extracurricular program that is not offered and/or sponsored currently by the district.
II. General Statement of Policy
The school district recognizes that situations occur when, although students demonstrate an interest in an activity, it is not possible for the district to sponsor the activity due to staffing, facilities, budget, or other reasons. On an annual basis, the Enrichment Programs Manager (Community Education), working in cooperation with the Wayzata High School Activities Director/Designee, will review and approve or disapprove of requested Independent Provider status and associated eligibility to award letters. Additionally, they will review and approve or disapprove requests to award letters for Community Education clubs/teams/activities. Guidance from school district policies that may be of assistance to independent providers include Interscholastic Athletics (Policy 621/621R) and Student Organizations (policy 622/622R).
