Purpose:
Participation in athletics in Allegany County Public Schools is a privilege. The participant comprises much of the visible

Violations of the following rules of proscribed conduct will result in disciplinary action:

B. Possession or use of alcohol
C. Possession, use or showing evidence of use, sale, or distribution of controlled dangerous substances,

which the infraction occurred if such infraction constitutes a violation of A, B, or C above. If mitigating circumstances exist for
A, B, and C above, the administrator may impose disciplinary action ranging from a suspension for 20% of the seasonal
remaining games to dismissal from the team. The student will be required to practice when a lesser penalty is applied. If the
athlete violates provision C above the athlete must present a negative drug screening to the principal prior to returning to the
team.
Violations of rules of conduct D through H will result in disciplinary actions ranging from a conference to a suspension and/or
dismissal from the team for the remainder of the season. The principal, in collaboration with the coach/advisor, shall make the
decision on the disciplinary action.
