While supporting the tenet that interscholastic athletics integral component of the total educational program offered to West Warwick Secondary School students, .the West Warwick School Committee maintains that, unless necessitated by unusual circumstances or law, one component of the educational program should not preempt another. Since regularly scheduled interscholastic athletic contests, matches, meets, etc. are scheduled at such a time so as to allow for travel and warm-up or with provisions for contests, etc. to be abbreviated due to darkness and/or weather conditions, then the West Warwick School Committee feels that absent extraordinary circumstances, there is no need for student athletes to be dismissed prior to the end of the regular school day. However, in light of special demands and/or considerations, early dismissal of student athletes shall be at the discretion of the school principal.
