Ravena-Coeymans-Selkirk board approves girls flag football program
Summary
At a special meeting, the Ravena-Coeymans-Selkirk Central School District Board approved establishing a girls flag football program. The motion passed during the business portion of the meeting before the board moved into a budget workshop.
The Ravena-Coeymans-Selkirk Central School District Board of Education approved the establishment of a girls flag football program during a special meeting before beginning a budget workshop.
Chair said the program was "a great initiative by Bill" and noted the idea had been presented to the board about a year earlier and studied since then. Board members indicated the program will start with one team this spring and expand as other schools add teams and demand grows.
The approval came during the brief business portion of the special meeting, which included two personnel items that were also moved and approved. There was no extended debate recorded on the flag football motion; the Chair called the question and recorded the affirmative votes.
The board then proceeded into a scheduled budget workshop that examined student assessment results, program proposals and projected fiscal pressures for the coming year. The board did not tie the flag football decision to any specific budget vote at the meeting; budget discussions continued afterward.
