If a student transferring into the North Mahaska Community Schools was serving or was to serve a suspension from activities at the school from which they were transferring,
they will serve the same period of suspension from activities at North Mahaska.
Any student whose habits and/or conduct were such as to make them unworthy to represent the ideals, principals and standards of the student's previous school, will be
declared ineligible by the principal or superintendent, after consulting with the administration from the school district from which they are transferring.
Students found to be ineligible under this policy will be excluded from participation in extra-curricular activities until reinstated by the school administration. They will be
entitled to contest this declaration of ineligibility under the "due process" provision as provided by the State Law of Iowa and board policy. However, if this due process
provision was provided at their previous school of attendance for this violation, this section shall be void, and the student will be declared ineligible immediately upon
enrollment.
Such eligibility rules shall apply to all extra-curricular activities, and shall cover all participating students for conduct both in and out of school during the school year and
while engaged in a summer activity sponsored by and directed by the school.
