SLUH Student and Parent Handbook - St. Louis University High ...

first school day following the meeting the student-athlete has had with his
parent/guardian, the Asst. Principal for Student Life, and the Athletic Director.
In the written request, the student should name at least three faculty
members who are members of the Athletic Department, one of whom would be
chosen by the Athletic Director, if possible, to serve on the committee to hear
the appeal.
The committee to hear the student’s appeal will consist of three
faculty members who are members of the athletic department (one of whom
may have been requested by the student-athlete), the Asst. Principal for
Student Life, and the Athletic Director. The Athletic Director will act as
chairperson of the committee. The student will be given the opportunity to
state his position. The committee will meet as soon as possible after the request
for the appeal has been made. The Athletic Director will inform the principal
of the committee’s decision.
If, because of a student’s violation of the school’s policy on the use
and possession of illegal drugs, a student faces the possibility of expulsion,
then the “Due Process Involving Discipline Board Meetings” (as described
earlier in this Parent-Student Handbook) takes precedence over the appeal
process outlined above.

suspended from interscholastic competition as a member of the St. Louis U.
High athletic program for the same number of MSHSAA events as prescribed
in penalties for the first violation of the policy with respect to the use of
alcohol and other illegal drugs. (See the list above.)
If the violation occurs in season, the process of implementing the
suspension is the same as above, except for (5).
If a violation occurs out of season, the suspension from
interscholastic competition will be applied in the next full sports season in
which the student athlete participates.
Second Violation: As the result of a second violation, the student-athlete will
be suspended from interscholastic competition as a member of the St. Louis U.
High athletic program for the same number of MSHSAA events as prescribed
in penalties for second violation of the drug/alcohol policy.
Third Violation: As the result of a third violation, the student-athlete will not
be allowed to participate in the athletic program for the remainder of his
enrollment at St. Louis U. High.
