District proposes second junior‑high soccer coach as participation grows; board to consider stipend increase
Summary
Athletics staff requested board approval to add a second junior‑high soccer coach for separate girls and boys programs if student interest materializes; administrators will place the item on the Thursday agenda.
The district’s athletics director asked the board to approve adding a second junior‑high soccer coach so the district can run separate boys and girls programs if sufficient student interest develops.
Mr. Lippert explained the junior‑high soccer program began as a co‑ed offering when interest was low. With program growth and parent inquiries, athletics staff asked to add a second coaching stipend at a one‑time cost of $3,604 for the current year; staff said the expense would be budgeted in future years if the program continues.
The board agreed to move the item to the Thursday agenda for final approval, and staff said they will cancel the additional position if student sign‑ups in the coming days do not support two teams.
No final hire or stipend was approved at the meeting; the board will consider the proposal at the next meeting.
