Tier 3 Activities

Tier 3 activities are not physically competitive in nature, generally are co-curricular and for the most part are not affiliated with a local or national organization. Tier 3 activities are reviewed annually and must receive approval from the administration. Any activity with a risk of physical injury must also have an assessment by the District Risk Manager before approval of the school administration.

Eligibility for participation is established by the club and sanctioned by the school administration. Fees maybe charged for participation in the club and student body cards may be required for membership if the club wants to request funds from the Associated Student Body account.

Advisor/Coach
Advisors for the club, if not a District employee, must have a Criminal Background Check (call the 4J Communications Office at 541.790.7737 for more information). The volunteer coordinator in each building should have this information and be of assistance.

Management
Because of their close affiliation with the school, Tier 3 activities are managed by the administration, generally will hold all their meetings on campus and abide by School and District rules regarding off campus activities, transportation and funds.

Use of Facilities
Tier 3 activities will be considered Class 1 activities when it comes to the use of school facilities at their home site. At other 4J properties they are treated as a Class 2 activity.

Recognition
Tier 3 activities may receive the same level of recognition as Tier 1 activities. The extent of this is to be determined at the school and approved by the administration.

Fundraising
Tier 3 activities who choose to do fundraising must have those activities approved by the school administration or their designee. As stated earlier all funds must be handled through an ASB account at the school. No outside accounts are allowed.
