All team members  need to be aware of the school’s hazing policy.

HAZING POLICY
Hazing - The policy on hazing is in compliance with Chapter 536 of the Acts of 1985, which amend Chapter 269 of the General Laws of Massachusetts. Hazing shall mean any conduct or method of initiation into any student organization, whether on public or private property, which willfully or recklessly endangers the physical or mental health of any student or other person. Such conduct shall include whipping, beating, branding, forced consumption of any food, liquor, beverage, drug or other substance, or any other brutal treatment or forced physical activity which is likely to adversely affect the physical health or safety of any such student or other person, or which subjects such student or other person, to extreme mental stress, including extended deprivation of sleep or rest or extended isolation.

Any student who organizes or participates in hazing as defined above, shall be suspended from school for eight days. The student’s record may be placed before the School Committee with a recommendation from the Administration of the time and place of the hearing in accordance with Chapter 76, Section 17 of the General Laws of Massachusetts.

In compliance with Chapter 269, Section 18, of the General Laws of Massachusetts acts of hazing shall be reported to appropriate law enforcement officials.
