Volunteer asks Tomorrow River board for stipend to run Intramural Basketball program
Summary
Doug, who runs the Intramural Basketball Association at Amherst High School, asked the board to consider paying a stipend for administering the league after 10 years of volunteer service; he said the league served 16–41 students this year and that he performs newsletter, statkeeping and set-up duties.
Doug, an Intramural Basketball Association organizer who said he has run the IBA for 10 years at Amherst High School, urged the board to consider a stipend for the season he administered this past year.
Doug told the board the league averaged 16 to 41 student participants this season, ran from Jan. 5 through April 3, and required tasks including setting up chairs and scoreboards, running a newsletter, tracking statistics and organizing end-of-season awards. "I feel that it is fair that I asked for payment for this school year and beyond for my administration of the IBA," he said.
Board members asked how the newsletter and statkeeping were handled; Doug said students volunteered to run the scoreboard and compile stats and that he posted the newsletter outside his classroom and distributed individual copies. Board members thanked him and said they would consider the request; no formal action was recorded in the transcript during the meeting.
