State Board of Education Rule R7-208 as mandated by the Arizona State Legislature requires that each school district must have in place a "No Pass, No Play" policy. The Peoria Unified School District views this policy as a tool for motivating student athletes to be successful in thei academic subjects. District policy requires the following:
- Student athletes receive a weekly grade check to determine their eligibility to participate in athletic competitions.
- A student must receive a passing grade in all enrolled classes on the weekly grade check preceding the contest or performance.
- When a student's grade falls at or below 65% (+/- 2%), the student must be warned of potential ineligibility. Warning potential ineligibility must taek place before ineligibility is declared.
- Ineligibility is declared on Friday and the student is ineligible beginning the following Monday.
- Students are ineligible until they earn a passing grade.
- Student athletes with an Individualized Education Program (IEP) or receive accommodations under Section 504 must continue to make adequate progress toward achieving their goals to be eligible to participate.
