2431 ATHLETIC COMPETITION		
The Board of Education recognizes the value of a program of athletic competition for both boys and girls as an integral part of the total school experience. Game activities and practice sessions provide opportunities to learn the values of competition and good sportsmanship. Programs of athletic competition, both intrascholastic and interscholastic, offer students the opportunity to exercise and test their athletic abilities in a context greater and more varied than that offered by the class or school or school district alone, and an opportunity for career and educational development.		
For the purpose of this Policy, programs of athletic competition include all activities relating to competitive sports contests, games, events, or sports exhibitions involving individual students or teams of students when such events occur within or between schools within this district or with any schools outside this district. The programs of athletic competition shall include, but are not limited to, high school interscholastic athletic programs, middle school interscholastic athletic programs where school teams or squads play teams or squads from other school districts, and/or intramural athletic programs within a school or among schools in the district,		
Eligibility Standards		
A student who wishes to participate in a program of athletic competition must submit, on a form provided by the district, the signed consent of his/her parent. The consent of the parent of a student who wishes to participate in a program of athletic competition will include an acknowledgment of the physical hazards that may be encountered in the activity.		
Student participation in a program of athletic competition shall be governed by the following eligibility standards:		
1. To be eligible for  participation  in  the  interscholastic  athletic  program of a New Jersey State Interscholastic Athletic Association (NJSIAA) member school, all high school students must meet, at a minimum, all the eligibility requirements of the Constitution, Bylaws, and Rules and Regulations of the NJSIAA.

3. A student in any grade who fails to observe school rules for student conduct may forfeit his/her eligibility for participation in school district sponsored programs of athletic competition.		
Notice of the school district’s eligibility requirements shall be available to students.		
Required Examinations – Interscholastic or Intramural Team or Squad

The school district shall annually distribute the Commissioner of Education developed educational fact sheet relative to use and misuse of opioid drugs for sports related injuries to parents of students who participate in athletic activities and comply with the requirements of N.J.S.A. 18A:40-41.10.		
Information concerning a student’s HIV/AIDS status shall not be required as part of the medical examination or health history pursuant to N.J.S.A. 26:5C-1 et seq. The health findings of this medical examination shall be maintained as part of the student’s health record.		
Emergency Procedures		
Athletic coaches shall be trained in first aid to include sports-related concussion and head injuries, the use of a defibrillator, the identification of student-athletes who are injured or disabled in the course of any athletic program or activity, and

The Board adopts the Constitution, Bylaws, Rules, and Regulations of the New Jersey State Interscholastic Athletic Association as Board policy and shall review such rules on a regular basis to ascertain they continue to be in conformity with the objectives of this Board.		
Academic Performance		
Therefore, the Board believes that it is in the best interests of District students to require a higher level of academic performance for all students to be eligible to participate in any District athletic competition activities.		
With this perspective, the Board requires that in order to be eligible to participate in any athletic practice/competition, each student shall maintain a minimum cumulative grade average of 2.0 for the Class of 2015, 2.3 for the Class of 2016 and 2.5 for all subsequent classes beginning with the Class of 2017.		
Participation in athletic competition is a privilege, not a right. The right to participate may be limited or terminated based upon behavior which is subject to discipline.		
The Superintendent shall develop procedures to govern the implementation of this policy.

5116 EDUCATION OF HOMELESS CHILDREN		
The Board of Education will admit and enroll homeless children in accordance with Federal and State laws and New Jersey Administrative Code. The Board of Education adopts this Policy to be in compliance with law and administrative code to ensure the enrollment of homeless children in school and to respond to appeals made by parents or other parties related to the enrollment of homeless children.		
The Board of Education shall determine that a child is homeless when he or she resides in a publicly or privately operated shelter designed to provide temporary living accommodations, including: hotels or motels; congregate shelters, including domestic violence and runaway shelters; transitional housing; and homes for adolescent mothers. A child is also determined homeless when he or she resides in a public or private place not designated for or ordinarily used as a regular sleeping accommodation, including: cars or other vehicles including mobile homes; tents or other temporary shelters; parks; abandoned buildings; bus or train stations; temporary shelters provided to migrant workers and their children on farm sites; and the residence of relatives or friends where the homeless child resides out of necessity because his or her family lacks a regular or permanent residence of its own. A child is also determined homeless when he or she resides in substandard housing or any temporary location wherein children and youth are awaiting foster care placement.		
The school district of residence for a homeless child is responsible for the education of the child and shall assume all responsibilities as required in N.J.A.C. 6A:17-2.3. The school district of residence for a homeless child means the school district in which the parent of a homeless child resided prior to becoming homeless.		
The school district liaison designated by the Superintendent of Schools for the education of homeless children will facilitate communication and cooperation between the school district of residence and the school district where the homeless child resides and shall assume all responsibilities as outlined in N.J.A.C. 6A:17- 2.4(a).

When a homeless child resides in a school district, the school district liaison shall notify the liaison of the school district of residence within twenty-four hours of receiving notification from the parent, the Department of Human Services or the Department of Children and Families, a shelter director, an involved agency, or a case manager. Upon notification of the need for enrollment of a homeless child, the liaison in the school district of residence shall coordinate enrollment procedures immediately based upon the best interest of the child pursuant to
N.J.A.C. 6A:17-2.5(b).		
The Superintendent of the school district of residence or designee shall decide in which school district the homeless child shall be enrolled in accordance with the provisions of N.J.A.C. 6A:17-2.5.		
Unless parental rights have been terminated by a court of competent jurisdiction, the parent retains all rights under N.J.A.C. 6A:17-2.1 et seq.		
When a dispute occurs regarding the determination of homelessness or the determination of the school district of enrollment made by the school district of residence, the Superintendent(s) or the designee(s) of the involved district(s) or the child’s parent(s) shall immediately notify the Executive County Superintendent of Schools, who, in consultation with the Department of Education’s McKinney-Vento Homeless Education Coordinator or designee, shall immediately decide the child’s status.

5535 PASSIVE BREATH ALCOHOL SENSOR DEVICE		
The Board of Education recognizes that a student’s abuse of harmful substances seriously impedes that a student’s education and threatens the welfare of the entire school community. The Board is committed to the prevention of substance abuse and the rehabilitation of substance abusers by educational means, but will take additional necessary and appropriate steps to protect the school community from harm and from exposure to harmful substances.		
In keeping with its commitment to protect all students and the school community from the harm of alcohol use, the Board of Education authorizes the use of a passive breath alcohol sensor device (PBASD) in certain circumstances. A PBASD enables school district staff to check an approximate alcohol level quickly and efficiently without requiring the student’s active participation. A PBASD may be used in certain circumstances as defined in this Policy and as determined by the Building Principal or designee or the staff member(s) in charge of a school-related or school-sponsored event or activity. The purpose for using a PBASD is to protect students who may be under the influence of alcohol, other students, staff, and community members attending such events and to deter the use of alcohol by students.		
The Board authorizes PBASD screening before, during, and after school activities/events including, but not limited to: dances, athletic events, proms,  class trips, drama productions, graduation ceremonies, or school assemblies when the Building Principal or designee has reason to believe the use of alcohol by students may be present. When it is determined a PBASD will be used,  a random number sequence will be selected by the Principal or designee prior to the event to determine which students in line for entrance will be screened. For example, if the number five is selected every fifth student in line for entrance into the activity/event shall be screened. In the alternative, the Principal or designee may determine to screen every student in line for entrance into the activity/event.		
Written notice indicating the use of a PBASD will be displayed at the point of sale of a ticket for the activity/event or at the entrance of the activity/event if tickets are not required. Upon the purchase of a ticket to gain entry into an activity/event or upon the entry of a student into an activity/event that does

If additional PBASD the second screenings indicates confirm the presence of alcohol on a student, the matter shall be reported to the Building Principal or designee and the certified or noncertified school nurse, or the school physician according to the reporting, notification, and examination requirements of N.J.S.A. 18A:40A-12, N.J.A.C. 6A:16-4.3, and Policy and Regulation 5530 - Substance Abuse.		
In addition, a PBASD may be used to screen a student upon a report to the Building Principal or designee, certified or noncertified school nurse, or the school physician if an educational staff member or other professional believes a student may be currently under the influence of alcohol on school property or at a school function provided an adult student and/or the student’s parent/legal guardian consents to such screening. Notwithstanding the results of the PBASD screening under these circumstances, the Building Principal or designee must comply with the reporting, notification, and examination procedures of N.J.A.C. 6A:16-4.3 and Policy and Regulation 5530 - Substance Abuse.		
A PBASD will only be used in accordance with the guidelines of this Policy. The Building Principal or designee shall be responsible for the proper training of school staff members in the use of the PBASD in accordance with the manufacturer’s specifications.

FSMC’s billing invoices will be monitored to ensure compliance with Federal and State procurement regulations and will comply with any additional monitoring requirements as outlined in the approved FSMC Contract.		
The procurement procedures contained in this Policy will be implemented beginning immediately, until amended. All procurements must maximize full and open competition.

Code of Conduct for Procurement

All procurements must ensure there is open and free competition and adhere to the most restrictive Federal, State, and local requirements. The Board of Education seeks to conduct all procurement procedures in compliance with stated regulations and
OPERATIONS
8561/page 14 of 16 Procurement Procedures for School Nutrition
Programs

to prohibit conflicts of interest and actions of employees engaged in the selection, award, and administration of contracts. All procurements will be in accordance with this Policy and all applicable provisions of N.J.S.A. 18A:18A – Public School Contracts Law.

No employee, officer, or agent may participate in the selection, award, or administration of a contract supported by a Federal, State, or local award if he or she has a real or apparent conflict of interest. Such a conflict of interest would arise when the employee, officer, or agent; any member of his or her immediate family, his or her partner; or an organization which employs or is about to employ any of the parties indicated herein has a financial or other interest in or a tangible personal benefit from a firm considered for a contract.

The officers, employees, and agents of the non-Federal entity may neither solicit nor accept gratuities, favors, or anything of monetary value from contractors or parties to subcontracts. However, non- Federal entities may set standards for situations in which the financial interest is not substantial or the gift is an unsolicited item of nominal value.

The standards of conduct must provide for disciplinary actions to be applied for violations of such standards by officers, employees, or agents of the non-Federal entity. Based on the severity of the infraction, the penalties could include a written reprimand to their personnel file, a suspension with or without pay, or termination.

Teaneck Board of Education 1 Merrison Street
Teaneck, NJ 07666

Dear Teaneck Board of Education:

As per the BOE previously approved fall room rental reduction, Lentz & Lentz is asking that Teaneck Board of Education continues to honor the agreed upon reduced facility usage rate of $80 per session for our SAT review classes conducted at Teaneck High School this spring.

The reduced rate allows us not to raise tuition on Teaneck families keeping the course affordable and accessible. Also, please be advised that Lentz & Lentz provides need based student aid scholarships to Teaneck High School families. This spring we have awarded a $330.00 scholarship to a Teaneck High School student whose mother could not afford full tuition. The reduced facility rental enables us to continue providing tuition assistance to families who need it.

Thank you,
Jeremy Lentz
Jeremy Lentz Director
