Third or More Positive Result
A student who tests positive for drugs or alcohol for the third time or more must attend a conference with the student's parent or legal guardian, principal, head coach, and athletic director. At the conference, the student is declared ineligible from participating in athletics for one calendar year. The student will not be eligible to participate until the beginning of a sports season following the one-year suspension.
To regain eligibility, the student must participate in substance abuse services with a certified clinical counselor, including random urinalysis, for twelve weeks.
Appeal Procedure
A participating student and his or her parent or legal guardian may request a retest of the specimen at their own expense at a laboratory designated by the district. Appeals must be made in writing to the testing coordinator within 48 hours of receiving the test results.
The entire policy can be found in the District Five Board Policy Manual under JCDAE and JCDAE-R.
Information for Student Athletes Who Plan to Attend a Division I or Division II College
Beginning in the ninth grade, a student athlete who wishes to play sports at the college level must plan his/her coursework meet all requirements specified by the South Carolina High School League. This is to ensure that he/she has met the high school requirement for eligibility to play sports in college. Meeting the NCAA academic rule does not guarantee admission into a college. Students must apply for admission to a college and complete the Clearinghouse form soon after school begins in the fall of their senior year.
If students take a rigorous college-preparatory curriculum, they are more likely to be successful. Help your students select courses that: Meet high school graduation requirements
Adequately prepare them for rigorous college work
Meet NCAA initial-eligibility requirements
Not all classes you take to meet high school graduation requirements may be used as core courses.
