District proposes Procedure 6260 revisions to align WIAA fines with district reimbursement policy
Summary
Assistant Superintendent Teresa Main presented proposed revisions to Procedure 6260 to align district practice with WIAA guidelines: administrative fines would remain a district expense while fines tied to a coach's inappropriate conduct could be the coach's responsibility to reimburse the district.
The Lake Stevens School District on Feb. 25 presented proposed changes to Procedure 6260 to align district practice with Washington Interscholastic Activities Association (WIAA) penalties and to clarify responsibilities for fines.
Teresa Main, assistant superintendent of business and operations, told the board the proposed revisions emphasize transparency and accountability, clarify that coaches are expected to model professionalism and explain which fines the district would absorb. Under the proposal, administrative fines from WIAA (for example, missed deadlines or roster errors) would remain district expenses, while fines stemming from a coach's inappropriate conduct — such as an ejection from a competition — could be the responsibility of the coach to reimburse the district. Main said the district is coordinating with the coaches union to inform members about the proposed changes.
The presentation positioned the updates as aligning district procedure with external association guidance while preserving the district's civility expectations for coaches and staff. The board received the information as an informational item; no formal vote was recorded on Procedure 6260 at this meeting.
