Ineligibility Regulations:

A student who does not maintain enrollment a minimum of twenty-five credits (no more than five of which are Physical Education) is automatically ineligible and cannot petition. A student who has fallen below a 2.0 GPA for two consecutive grading periods is automatically ineligible and cannot petition. A student who drops below a 2.0 GPA and is in an activity which continues into the next grading period will automatically be put on probation until the next grading period or the end of the current program / sport and does not need to petition in order to continue in the program. A student who drops below a 2.0 GPA and is requesting to start a new program / sport must petition through the Principal's office within ten days after the grade cards have been mailed. Students enrolled in special Education programs will be granted automatic review to determine whether their potential ineligibility is due to their disability. Petitions are to be made through the Principal's office. Students entering at the beginning of the ninth grade are scholastically eligible for the first triad if they have passed four or more classes in the previous grading period. All other new students must meet the eligibility requirements or petition if appropriate. A Review Board composed of Teacher(s), counselor(s), and administration(s) shall be established by the Principal of the school to consider special cases. The review Board will determine if there are extenuating circumstances are generally a hardship or family situation beyond the reasonable control of the student. The findings of the Review Board shall be made known to the Principal and decision of the principal shall be final.
