Athletics director reports increased participation and state tennis title; board asks for wider publicity
Summary
Athletics director Tim Porter reported rising participation across spring sports, multiple conference honors and a state tennis title. Board members requested the athletics department and communications staff to share results with the community.
Tim Porter presented an annual athletics report highlighting stronger participation and team accomplishments: he reported 155 boys and 83 girls participated in spring sports, growth in state qualifiers (24 students to state this year vs. 20 last year) and several team achievements including a state championship in team tennis and a Baron Cup in ice hockey. Porter said total spring participation across seasons reached 647 students this year (approaching pre-COVID numbers). He also noted work to improve the department’s social-media presence and the development of a coach scorecard to monitor academic and programmatic performance.
Board members asked Porter to distribute presentation materials and urged district communications to publicize athletic successes (multiple board members said local media coverage has lagged). The board suggested using email and social media to highlight student accomplishments and community pride.
Next steps: the athletic department will share the presentation with the board for dissemination; media and communications staff will be asked to develop an outreach plan to promote athletics achievements.
