Summary

A work-session speaker said multiple teams practiced immediately after school—roughly 3:30–5:30 p.m.—creating conflicts over shared fields for soccer, football and hockey; the district discussed scheduling issues but recorded no formal schedule changes.

Speaker 3 described fall-sports scheduling challenges during the work session, saying multiple teams often practice right after school and that time blocks overlapped, forcing teams to share fields. "A lot of teams went on practice right after school, so ... 03:30 to 5, 05:30," Speaker 3 said, describing crowded practice slots and irregular practice times.

The comment named several sports — boys and girls soccer, hockey and football — and said unusual practice times contributed to the strain. The discussion did not include a proposed schedule change, a plan for additional field time, or a decision on reallocating facility use.

Separately, Speaker 1 noted the district is in the middle of several construction projects that could affect facilities; the transcript referenced basins designed to hold water as part of those projects but did not connect that work directly to the athletic scheduling problem.

No motion, staff assignment, or timetable for addressing scheduling conflicts was recorded in the transcript.
