Committee agrees on wrestling and swim extracurricular percentages; changes to assistant allocations approved
Summary
Advisory committee agreed to set middle-school swim at 2.5% and to allocate 10% for head wrestling coaches for boys and girls while removing a second assistant role at the middle school.
A Moscow School District committee voted to adjust extracurricular percentages for recently added middle-school activities and to reassign an assistant percentage to create a head-girls wrestling position.
Most important: The group agreed to set the middle-school swim coach percentage at 2.5 percent, retain the head boys-wrestling position at 10 percent, keep one assistant on the boys side at 5.6 percent, convert the third assistant slot to a head girls-wrestling position at 10 percent, and delete the second assistant at middle school wrestling unless numbers grow.
Why it matters: The change formalizes compensation levels for new and split seasons (girls wrestling will now be a separate season from boys) and attempts to balance time commitment, team sizes and equity across middle‑school sports.
Discussion: Administrators reported middle-school participation counts — roughly 20+ boys currently at the middle level, prompting the 10/5.6 structure on the boys side; girls participation is smaller but the committee flagged equity questions about whether wrestling should remain at 10 percent when other middle-school head coaches are 8 percent. Members agreed to approve the structure for the coming year but to ask the committee that sets extracurricular percentages to re-evaluate based on participation after the first season of split wrestling.
Next steps: Administrators will incorporate the agreed percentages into the draft negotiated-extracurricular schedule for bargaining-team review.
