Board approves softball program merger with nearby district to support varsity, JV and modified teams
Summary
The Rondout Valley Board approved a sports team merger for girls varsity softball with a neighboring district to ensure rosters for varsity, JV and modified levels; the motion carried during the consent agenda vote.
As part of the consent agenda, the board approved item 8, a proposed merger of the Rondout Valley girls varsity softball program with the Onteora-area program. District staff said the merger will provide sufficient athletes to field a full complement of teams — varsity, junior varsity and modified — and avoid moving younger players up prematurely to varsity. The motion was approved by voice vote.
The administration said the arrangement is intended to preserve participation opportunities across levels and maintain healthy feeder systems for the program.
