Chesapeake Public Schools recognizes the importance of extracurricular activities in the education process and the values that students develop when they have the opportunity to participate in an organized activity outside the traditional classroom. Our district goals aim to provide a safe and supportive learning environment which extends to athletics and student activites. The district will abide by district and School Board guidelines outlined in the student handbook, and regulations issued by the state (VHSL) and the federal government (Title IX).
