SCHOLASTIC ELIGIBILITY FOR SPECIAL EDUCATION STUDENTS

● Students in regularly organized special education classes must be making satisfactory progress toward the school’s requirements for the special education programs. 

 For the purpose of administering the policy, only those students with an Individual Education Plan (IEP) will be regarded as special education students. In order to be eligible for athletics/activities, special education students must be making satisfactory progress toward graduation. 

● The present Academic Eligibility policy applies to all students, including special education students. However, these guidelines could be waived based upon the IEP statement of progress toward graduation. An eligibility committee shall be called by the principal to hear appeals for waivers of the academic eligibility guidelines for students with an IEP. The eligibility committee shall consist of the principal, the special education representative, and the athletic director. 

● All students out for activities will be expected to abide by the attendance and training rules as established by teams, coaches, and ISD 728.
