Board weighs trimming admission-prices policy language, may delegate pricing to superintendent
Summary
Committee members questioned a decades-old policy that states the board determines admission prices for athletic events; they discussed deleting that sentence and instead delegating pricing to the superintendent or designee.
Policy committee members reviewed an admission-prices policy last adopted roughly 21 years earlier, and several members suggested removing the opening sentence that explicitly says the board will determine admission prices for athletic events.
Presenters noted that Oregon School Activities Association (OSAA) sets recommended prices for athletic events, and in practice the superintendent (or staff) has been handling ticket prices for several years. Members observed they have not recently received formal board presentations about admission pricing and questioned whether the policy language reflects current practice.
One board member proposed striking the first sentence and instead specifying that the superintendent or designee will determine admission prices; another suggested clarifying that principals maintain adequate controls for receipts and cash handling. The committee discussed statutory citations (ORS 305.3565 referenced in the packet) but did not take a formal vote on the policy language at this meeting.
Staff said they would return with a redraft that either strikes the board-determines-pricing sentence or changes it to state the superintendent or designee sets prices, and would bring that language forward for board review.
