PUPIL ACTIVITY

PERMIT

As a condition to receive an initial pupil activity permit to coach

interscholastic athletics, an individual must have successfully completed

a training program focused on brain trauma and brain injury

management.

Renewals of the permit are contingent upon the successful completion of

a similar program within the previous three years in recognizing the

symptoms of concussions and head injuries.

For non-licensed individuals, the pupil activity permit is valid for three

years. However, for those individuals holding a valid teaching license,

the permit is instead valid for the same number of years as the

individual’s educator license.
