This document summarizes selection criteria for evaluating a new school for participation in the Sport Environment Protection Program. Questions concerning the interpretation of these guidelines should be directed to any member of the Public Outreach Planning Committee.
Proximity to Sport Site—To minimize travel expenses, ASC seeks schools that are located within 50 miles of a site where extreme sports are regularly pursued.
Enrollment Level—Any school seeking to join the SEPP is expected to enroll a minimum of 10 students in the program each academic year.
Income Level—To maximize public relations benefits to ASC, the school should be located in a lower-income area.
Academic Level—To lend credibility to the program, a school seeking acceptance must be accredited by the Board of Education in that state. Furthermore, it is recommended that participation in SEPP be limited to schools at the junior high level or above.
