KNOW THE ELIGIBILITY RULES FOR ATHLETICS AND

EXTRACURRICULAR ACTIVITIES

For the purposes of determining eligibility of students to participate in extracurricular activities and athletics

under Board Policy 6431, the following definitions shall be used:

The Charles County Board of Education extends the privilege of extracurricular activities and athletics to

students who recognize their obligation to themselves, their co-participants and their school community while

striving for academic excellence. Extracurricular activities are defined as any activity pursued outside of a

student’s class enrolment. Examples of extracurricular activities include athletics, clubs, and student

government associations. Extracurricular programs help provide valuable experiences and are considered an

integral part of the total educational program. Involvement in extracurricular activities often have a positive

influence on the academic achievement of students. It is the goal of this policy to help students successfully

balance academics and extracurricular activities in order to provide opportunities for a well-rounded educational

experience. Activities that support specific content curriculum would not fall under the eligibility policy as long

as the student is enrolled in the credit bearing class. Examples of activities that do not fall under the eligibility

criteria include fine and performing arts, J.R.O.T.C. drill competitions, and Skills U.S.A.
