Policy JJD: Student Assessment for Participating in Athletic Programs (Region)

The Regional Schools maintain a comprehensive program of after school athletics for students in the middle school and high school.

To assist in the support of this program, each student participating in a sport will be assessed a fee to offset the costs in that sport.The assessment schedule will be approved by the School Committee before implementation.

Funds collected as a result of this assessment will be deposited in the Athletic Revolving Fund.

The Superintendent of Schools, or his/her administrative designee, is authorized to waive this assessment in individual cases of financial hardship.

Failure to settle this assessment prior to the first scheduled tryout/practice may result in a student being declared ineligible for participation.
