I'm not saying this policy is the correct one, but it certainly is clear. We have lost star athletes in a couple of sports over the years because they violated this contract.


This is the Shawnee Mission policy that has been in effect for many years. What do you think about it? If you do not agree with it, explain why and what you think would be a better policy.
