Abstract: The popular phrase "no-pass/no-play" describes the rules or statutes being adopted by an increasing number of state legislatures, state boards of education, and local school districts. In the interest of educational reform, school leaders are increasingly limiting participation in extracurricular activities for students that fail courses or do not achieve at least a "C" (2.00 GPA) average. Because of this, there is a need to know and understand recent court decisions relative to no-pass/no-play for student participation in extracurricular activities. The purpose of this study was to identify the critical legal issues affecting the implementation of no-pass/no-play rules at the state and local level. The second purpose was to review and analyze state statutes and case law relative to extracurricular activities. The final purpose of this study was to form a legal reference for persons at the state and local levels to assist them in the adoption and implementation of more stringent academic requirements for student participation in extracurricular activities.
