The bylaw applies to the 12-month calendar year. 2. It is not a violation for a student to be in possession of a controlled substance specifically prescribed for his use and the school nurse has been notified that the student has the substance in his possession. 3. A violation may affect a students status on a team. Penalty: First Violation: After confirmation of the first violation, the student loses eligibility for the next two consecutive interscholastic contests or two weeks of a season in which the student is a participant, whichever is greater. No exception is permitted for a student who becomes a participant in a treatment program.

Denial Disqualification: A student is disqualified from all inter-scholastic athletics for nine additional weeks beyond the students original period of ineligibility when the student denies violation of the rules, is allowed to participate and then is subsequently found guilty of the violation.
