The Board of Education approves of the concept of educationally related contests provided they are pedagogically sound and administratively feasible.
The approval of the superintendent or his designee shall be required in order to conduct a contest or activity involving awards to students by agencies outside the schools. It shall be the responsibility of the school principal to submit to the central administration only those requests for contests which are worthy of consideration.
In fulfilling this responsibility, principals may solicit opinions from the staff with respect to requests being considered.
The central administration shall limit participation in contests to those that are educationally sound, feasible and timely. Contest activities should supplement and support the regular school program; they should not interfere with it.
Funding shall not be guaranteed for any students advancing to the next level of competition in such contests.
