Vandalism

Schools participating in the B and C Division Regional and State Olympiads must submit a copy of the Vandalism Policy signed by both the coach and principal of the school. The signed statement is to be submitted at the time of the on site registration..

If a team member or members or persons associated with a team commit(s) an act of van­dalism, the team will be disqualified from the competition and will receive no points. No member of that team will be awarded a medal in any event. An individual who commits an act of vandalism may be barred from future competitions.

Each sponsoring school must agree to pay the cost of repairing damage from any act of vandalism. A school must pay this restitution before it can register a team for the Science Olympiad in a subsequent year.

Vandalism means a deliberate action that results in damage to property. This includes, but is not limited to, graffiti, damage to facility property and damage to the personal property of competitors, judges and spectators.

Please download the HSSO Vandalism Policy, read it with your students, and have it signed and ready at the time of competition.
