At the meeting of the Marshall School Board on Monday, November 25, the board held a discussion on student participation in extracurricular activities.
According to minutes from the meeting, current policy states a student must enroll in the district and register for a minimum of two credit-bearing, seat-time courses. The administration asked the policy be changed to three credit-bearing, seat-time courses, which was approved by the board.
