DISTRICT ATHLETIC PHILOSOPHY Education in the Boise Public Schools has multiple responsibilities. The challenge is to meet, as effectively as possible, the needs and interests of all of its pupils. The extracurricular program is designed to enrich the educational experience and has the potential of contributing to the total development of each student in several ways. All educational values of any consequence improve human relations. When the effect of participation in an activity takes place, immediately, the meaning of the performance is understood and evaluated and corrections or changes can be made. Considering athletics in the light of these criteria, the following principles are recognized: A.
Participation in sports provides experiences through which pupils learn social values. Athletic assemblies serve to teach students to act favorably in large groups. Knowledge of the game, interpretation of rules, courtesy, school morale, respect for property, and many other values are stressed as desirable social outcomes.
B.
Athletic activities are conducted and regulated as other enterprises in society. The program operates within the rules of the game. Few activities like sports offer the opportunity for parents, students, and other citizens of the community to mingle together with a common bond.
C.
Athletic competition provides situations requiring skilled performance, respect for opponents, acceptance of results determined by officials, and playing the game according to rules. Experiences related to planning, organizing, adjusting and completion of task occur continually and are immediate in effect.
Further, the purpose of interscholastic athletics in the Boise School District is to help each participant: • • • • • • • • • • •
develop their potential to the maximum. build strong character traits including a respect for the rights of others. develop the understanding, skills, habits, and attitudes necessary for full enjoyment and appreciation of life. use of critical thinking and good judgment in teaching decisions. be open-minded and want to continue to learn. act upon an understanding of and loyalty toward our American democratic ideals. form good work habits and pride in careful workmanship. understand and follow good health and safety practices. expand and assist in the development of a philosophy of life. develop a sense of values. gain an appreciation of cultural and social diversity.

9.
NON-SCHOOL ATHLETIC PARTICIPATION The district allows athletes to participate in non-school athletic programs provided parents and athletes are aware of and agree to specific rules or guidelines that have been established to minimize participation conflicts. Because of the ever-increasing conflict between junior high school sports and non-school athletic programs, it has become apparent that specific rules or guidelines need to be established to minimize conflicts. In order to foster better relations and communications with student-athletes, parents, and adults who are involved with "non-school sports" such as, but not limited to, soccer, baseball, basketball and hunting, the following procedures have been established at each junior high school. A. Parents and/or athletes need to communicate with the junior high coach, before the actual season starts, any potential conflicts between sports. B. A calendar of scheduled sports established by the Boise Public School Athletic Department will be sent to any coach or involved adult of a “non-school sporting activity” upon request. C. For athletes who are involved in the sports in junior high, the following rules will apply: 1) If an athlete misses two contests the junior high coach will remove the individual from the squad. 2) If an athlete misses one practice the junior high coach has the option of not starting or playing that individual in the next contest. 3) If the athlete misses three practices in a season, the junior high coach may remove the individual from the squad. D. If an athlete is going to be in continual conflict as set forth by the previous rules, that individual will be encouraged to make a choice between one sport or the other. E. For the sake of the student athletes there should be continued communication between school and non-school coaches. F. Should a student decide to submit an appeal, a panel composed of the principal, Athletic Director and head coach will convene upon the principal's receipt of a written request from the student and parent. This request for a hearing/review should clearly state the reasons why the hearing is being requested. G. Ninth graders must adhere to all IHSAA rules.

EQUITY ISSUES The Boise School District is committed to providing quality athletic programs to all interested boys and girls on an equal basis. The District has taken the position that gender equity will be addressed when dealing with any athletic issue. The District is aware of the intrinsic value of a properly conducted interscholastic athletic program for both girls and boys. Listed below are procedures and specifics related to the nine areas on which compliance reviews are conducted. •
Accommodation of Interest and Ability The District does show a history of adding sports at the sophomore and junior varsity levels and promoting participation when numbers are not substantially proportionate. The District’s “cut” protocol is the same for both boys and girls.
•
Equipment and Supplies It is the practice of the District to provide safe, quality equipment and supplies to both boys and girls teams on an as needed basis. Storage space is equitable for both genders, usually located at the same locations. Access to supplies and equipment and managerial services are provided on an equal basis.
•
Scheduling In like sports, an equal number of games are scheduled at all levels for both the boys and girls. Boys and girls teams share prime time slots during contiguous seasons: i.e.: football, volleyball and basketball. Equivalent practice times are offered to both genders at on-campus sites when facilities are available.
•
Travel It is understood that in like sports, the mode of transportation to games and tournaments will be equivalent.
•
Coaches The same standards apply when hiring coaches for either boys or girls sports. Like sports have the same number of coaches. Coach to student ratio is the same for both genders. Coaches of girls and boys teams receive equivalent compensation.
47
•
Locker Rooms, Practice and Game Facilities The District will provide locker rooms, practice and game facilities to both boys and girls in an equitable fashion. The competitive facilities for boys and girls are of equivalent quality in every sports area except softball. We are working to correct these deficiencies.
•
Training Facilities and Service The District will provide medical and training facilities and service on an equitable basis to both boys and girls sports. Trainers cover boys and girls practices and games in an equitable fashion. Access to weight rooms, strength and conditioning classes are offered to both boys and girls in an equitable fashion. NATA certified trainers service both boys and girls teams in an equitable fashion.
•
Publicity The Boise School District will have publicity services available to boys and girls interscholastic teams in an equitable fashion. All publicity resources at the District or individual school level are available to girls and boys teams on an equitable basis.
•
Support Services The Boise School District and individual schools are committed to providing equitable administrative, secretarial and clerical support services to both girls and boys interscholastic athletic programs.
