Board approves new coaching stipends for competitive dance, flag football and JV cheer
Summary
The board approved four additional coaching stipends for the 2025–26 school year to support growth in competitive dance, girls flag football and JV cheer; finance removed one assistant softball stipend as an offset.
The Round Lake Area Schools Board approved four new coaching stipends beginning with the 2025–26 school year to expand athletic programming.
Administration requested stipends to add a head competitive dance coach, a junior-varsity competitive dance coach, a second-level JV girls flag football coach and a JV-2 cheerleading coach for the winter competitive season. Finance reviewed the request and reported an offset: removal of a fourth assistant softball coach stipend. Administrators said the competitive dance proposal builds on current dance fitness classes and the district wants to move programming into a varsity competitive offering.
In discussion, administrators noted trial rosters and tryout numbers for sideline/cheer and confirmed the current sideline roster is 48. The motion passed by roll call with all present board members voting yes.
