Additional rules and and/or consequences established by a coach or sponsor along with the activities director may be given to participants in any activity and organization and will thus become a part of the school discipline policy.

All students involved in any extra-curricular or co-curricular activities will be deemed guilty of associated misconduct at any time, if they are associated with situations when alcohol/drugs are being sold or used illegally.
