Board allows Piedmont High School name for clay target club with waivers and attorney guidance
Summary
The board approved use of 'Piedmont High School' for a clay target club that will operate as a parent-sponsored club (not an OSSAA district activity); administration said volunteers will sponsor, waivers will be required and the district attorney recommended clearly defining the club’s non-district status.
The Piedmont School District board approved a request for the Oklahoma State High School Clay Target League to use the Piedmont High School name, provided participants acknowledge the league is not a district activity.
District administration described the activity as a club—approved at the site level and run by volunteers—rather than an OSSAA-sponsored sport. Joe Crawford was named in the discussion as a volunteer who will serve as a sponsor; administration said parents would serve as co-sponsors and the district attorney recommended a clearly worded waiver describing permitted and prohibited conduct. "We just need to have a very well defined what it is and what it isn't, and so we have a waiver that we'll ask them to fill out," administration said.
Board members noted clubs are common in the district and that similar activities operate through organizations such as 4‑H; the board approved the motion and directed staff to ensure the waiver and club definitions are in place.
