Rationale:   Based on the adjustment to the graduation requirement for PE and Wellness for juniors and seniors, the athletic academic eligibility policy would also need to be revised. Previously, the policy required juniors and seniors to be enrolled in 5.5 academic credits plus 0.5 credits of PE. Now, juniors and seniors would be required to be enrolled in 5 credits total.

Rationale: 

The fundraiser policy currently does not address the situation of general budget funding not supporting uniform replacements. The revised language with fundraising stipulations surrounding the use of fundraising for uniform replacements would address the occurrence of the fiscal school year budget not supporting the replacements of uniforms and would apply only in situations when the general budget does not allot of funds to replace uniforms.
