Extra-Curricular Activities & 4-H Eligibility

As an educational agency, the Texas A&M AgriLife Extension Ser-

vice supports the Texas Education code and academic responsibility

of student 4-H members. The Extension sponsored 4-H youth pro-

grams must comply with provisions of the Texas Educational Code in

order for the 4-H program to maintain status of an extracurricular

organization.

When 4-H members participate in competitive events or when a

member is participating in any 4- H event that will require him/her

to be absent from school, the Extension Agent must submit a writ-

ten request to the appropriate school official prior to the activity. The

school will determine if the students are eligible for participation and

notify the agent. If parents have any questions they should contact

the school administration.
