Moore County Schools Athletic Code of Conduct Participation in any athletic activity is an important part of the educational experience in the Moore County Schools. A primary goal of such activities is to teach students character and self-discipline skills that will enable them to develop to their highest potential. As role models for their peers and younger students, students who participate in athletic activities (“participating students”) are held accountable for their actions at a higher standard than other students. Because of the public nature of the athletic programs sponsored by the Moore County Schools, participating students are expected to conduct themselves in a manner that will reflect the high standards and ideals of their school and community. Participating student athletes are subject to this code at all times during the calendar year, including summer months, whether on or off campus. For summer month violations, any discipline or punishment imposed would go into effect at the next scheduled athletic activity by the student athlete. This Code of Conduct is in addition to any specific team/activity or regulations established by the individual programs. DRUGS AND ALCOHOL The possession, use, distribution, and/or sale of illegal or counterfeit drugs/alcohol, including possession of paraphernalia for ingestion of such substances by participating students is not acceptable and prohibited. If school officials received credible evidence, such as a police report or criminal charges related to a drug or alcohol offense, or have a reasonable suspicion that a violation under this section has occurred, the school officials will investigate. If, after investigation of the charges, school officials determine that the participating student committed the violation, he/she shall be subject to disciplinary action as outlined below. Every effort will be made by the school and individual activity programs to make participating students aware of the detrimental effects of drugs and alcohol. Students and/or parents of students suspended under this section will receive information regarding counseling. Any participating student found in violation of this offense at any time while on any school premises, including activity buses or other school approved transportation will be suspended from further participation according to the Moore County Student Code of Conduct. All offenses occurring off campus will be determined as specified below: First Offense: The principal will suspend the student athlete for a minimum of 20 school days from athletic activities not including scrimmages. At the discretion of the principal in consultation with the athletic director and/or coach, the student athlete may not practice with the team during this suspended time frame or be allowed to travel with the team, nor be on the sideline or bench with the team. With the first violation, the student athlete must be evaluated by a drug/alcohol counselor as recommended by the school, must comply with all recommendations and treatment programs, and must furnish a negative drug test (at the student athlete’s cost) prior to resuming participation. Additionally, the student athlete must agree to be drug tested for a period of 365 calendar days following the violation of the drug and alcohol policy. He/she must agree to pay for any random drug tests selected by the school representatives. Second Offense: The student athlete will be excluded from all athletic activities for the remainder of his/her high school career in the Moore County Schools. TOBACCO USE Principal’s decision is final Participating students found to have used tobacco while subject to this Code will be suspended from participation as outlined:
A participating student athlete charged with a criminal offense, misdemeanor or felony, other than a minor traffic offense, will be suspended from athletic participation until further review by the principal and director of student activities. A student convicted of a felony offense will be immediately suspended from all athletic participation according to the NCHSSA policy. The participating student athlete must inform his or her coach or appropriate staff of any criminal charges against them as soon as practicable, but not later than the student’s next participation in any athletic event, to include practices, rehearsals, etc. Failure to do so may result in further disciplinary action. SCHOOL SUSPENSION In School: A participating student serving a disciplinary in-school suspension for a full day or days will not participate in any athletic activity on the particular day(s) the student is serving the suspension.
A participating student athlete who engages in any conduct or behavior, which is inconsistent with the student’s position as a role model or representative of the Moore County Schools, is subject to disciplinary action, including suspension as determined by the Principal. Coaches or school officials may also establish additional training regulations and rules of conduct. REVIEW PROCEDURE A participating student may request a review of the disciplinary action by providing written notice to the Superintendent, or his/her designee, within two (2) school days of the date of the Principal's notification to the student and/or parent. The notice shall state the reason for the review. The Superintendent, or his/her designee, will review the record of the disciplinary action and issue a decision within five (5) school days of receipt of the request for review. The Superintendent, or his/her designee, will inform the student and parent of the decision. Any disciplinary action, including suspension from participation, will remain in effect during the review process. Failure by the participating student to adhere to appeal content requirements and timelines as set forth will result in immediate dismissal of the appeal. Viking Athletics Students interested in playing a sport, should see one of the coaches or the athletic director regarding athletic eligibility.

The state of North Carolina enforces two pieces of legislation which reflect a coordinated effort statewide to motivate and to encourage students to complete high school. The Student Services Department of Moore County Schools wants to remind parents and students of these laws and their potential impact upon their lives. The first of these is the Dropout Prevention/Driver’s License legislation. This legislation is directed to all North Carolina students under the age of 18 who are eligible for a driving permit or license. The law indicates that the revocation of a student’s driving permit or license will result if a student drops out of a school or if a student is unable to maintain adequate academic progress. Adequate academic progress is to be evaluated at the end of each semester, and in a block schedule high school (as in Moore County), is defined as passing 3 out of 4 classes each semester. Students who do not meet this criterion will be reported to the Division of Motor Vehicles and will have their permit or license revoked. The end of the semester is defined as the time period when final grades are submitted into NCWISE, according to authorities in Raleigh. Therefore, students are to be held accountable for the grades earned specifically during the semester. A student may opt to take advantage of opportunities to make up time in extended academic activities offered either at the home campus or through Pinckney Academy summer school in order to assist them in earning academic credit. However, according to the legislation, these credits cannot be considered towards maintaining driver’s license eligibility at the end of each semester. Parents need to be aware that they can request a driving eligibility hardship upon receipt of the letter from their child’s school indicating that they have not met criterion to maintain a driver’s license for the previous semester. Hardship areas are identified to be medical, employment, and exceptional education considerations. Appropriate documentation needs to accompany the hardship requests including statements from medical providers or evidence of the absolute necessity for the student to maintain a license. A county-wide driver’s license revocation team meets at the end of each semester to review those hardship requests and make recommendations to the Division of Motor Vehicles. The second of these laws is the Lose Control/Lose Your License legislation. This law requires that a student’s permit or license be suspended for one year whenever a student is given an expulsion/suspension for more than 10 consecutive days or an assignment to an alternative educational setting for more than 10 consecutive days for one of the following reasons: 1.Possession or sale of an alcoholic or an illegal controlled substance on school property. 2.possession or use on school property of a weapon or firearm that resulted or could have resulted in disciplinary action if the conduct had occurred in public school 3.Physical assault on a teacher or other school personnel on school property. The goal of Moore County Schools is to work with students and families to assist students in maintaining their driver’s license eligibility status. However, we are also obligated to work collaboratively with other state agencies involved in this process. The Department of Public Instruction, the Division of Motor Vehicles, the Division of Nonpublic Schools, and the Community College System are partners in this effort.
