The Board subscribes to an instructional program and such courses of study that will enable each student to function effectively and responsibly in a changing world.  The Board believes that the opportunity for student participation in a broad and varied program of interscholastic and intramural athletics and student activities, clubs, and performance groups is a desirable and integral component of an effective instructional program.  The instructional program of the Wake County Public School System shall include, therefore, in addition to the standard course of study prescribed by the State Board of Education and such other academic and vocational courses as are approved by the Board, a program of interscholastic and intramural athletics and extracurricular student activities that offers maximum opportunity for participation by all students.  The details of the entire instructional program are to be consistent with the continuing goals and specific objectives developed by the Superintendent and approved by the Board.
