Mr. John W. Rose
Dear Mr. Rose:
The State Superintendent's office is in receipt of your letter requesting an
interpretation of the West Virginia State Board Policy 2436.10, Participation in
Extracurricular Activities. Specifically, your questions is, "does the requirement for
a student to maintain a 2.0 grade point average to participate in all extracurricular
clubs/activities, or does this policy only apply to interscholastic sports and
cheerleading?"
According to West Virginia State Board of Education Policy 2436.10 under §126-26-2. Applicability. "This policy applies only to nonacademic extracurricular activities, such as interscholastic athletics, cheerleading, student government, class officers, and clubs which are not closely related to identifiable programs/areas of study, in grades 7-12. Excluded from this policy are extracurricular activities which are closely related to identifiable academic programs/areas of study and which serve to complement academic curricular activities such as vocational, musical, journalistic, and other similar academic extracurricular activities." Hoping that I have been of service, I am Sincerely, /s/
Henry Marockie
