45) DISMISSAL TIME
Q. Whose school dismissal time is used to determine the permitted time for practice or workouts at the site of a contest? A. The dismissal time of the school hosting the contest shall be the time from which practices may be scheduled. Therefore, if the host school is dismissed at 3:15 p.m., no visiting school may practice at the site of the contest until
3:30 p.m. or later, regardless of its own dismissal time. (By-law 2.060(i))
46) LEAVING SCHOOL EARLY
Q. May a team leave school prior to dismissal time to travel to the site of a contest?
A. This by-law regulates only the actual start of practice at a contest site. Schools make their own determinations about
leaving school to travel to the site. (By-law 2.060(a), (b), and (i))
47) GOVERNMENTAL SPONSORSHIP
Q. When a governmental agency, such as the General Assembly or Department of Tourism, provides funds for a school’s use to travel to and participate in a particular event, does this constitute “governmental sponsorship” of the activity under the terms of this rule?
A. Yes, and the school may participate under all the terms of the sanction policy. (By-law 2.060(c)
48) ADDITIONAL STATEWIDE ORGANIZATIONS
Q. What other statewide organizations are covered under 2.060(d)?

49) NON-FACULTY COACHES AS NON-SCHOOL COACHES
Q. May a non-faculty coach at a member school coach a non-school team in an independent league outside the school season?
A. By-law 3.107 restricts the amount of involvement permitted between students and their school coaching staff members in non-school athletic competition. A non-faculty coach is a member of a school’s coaching staff, and is considered to be such for a period of time commencing with the date on which he/she is contracted for the coaching position by the school and extending until the beginning of the next year’s season for the sport. Therefore, a non- faculty coach may coach a non-school team outside the school season only under the guidelines provided under By- law 3.107.
