  2. “C” Average Policy • Adopted January 2000; revised June 2000 • Participation in extracurricular activities in grades 6-12 is contingent on 2.0 GPA in the preceding semester • 4 year phase in period • 6-7, 9-10 for 2000-2001 • 6-11 for 2001-2002 • 6-12 for 2002-2003

  3. Tracking Extracurricular Activities & GPAs • Student participation in extracurricular activities is recorded in the SASI database • Athletic directors and team sponsors record participation directly into SASI or provide the information to the database specialist • GPAs are stored in SASI, but were calculated by Research & Evaluation for the C-Average Report

  4. August 2004 Report • Examines impact of the policy on athletes • Examines participation in athletics • Reviews athletic participation and GPA data for grades 7 and 8 in middle schools and grades 9-12 in high schools • Students excluded from participation for 2003-2004 are not included in the sports presented • Includes data for 2,131 team participants across 14 sports

  5. Impact of “C” Average Policy • Compliance to the policy for 2004 Spring sports • Ineligibility for 2004 Fall/Winter sports for students in grades 7-11 • Motivation for students to improve their GPAs
