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 responsibil-
ity of student 4-H members. The Extension sponsored 4-H youth
programs must comply with provisions of the Texas Educational
Code in order for the 4-H program to maintain status of an extra-
curricular 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
written request to the appropriate school official prior to the activi-
ty. The school will determine if the students are eligible for partici-
pation and notify the agent. If parents have any questions they
should contact the school administration.
