District proposes Procedure 6260 changes to align with WIAA fines and coach conduct rules
Summary
The district presented proposed updates to Procedure 6260 to align with WIAA changes: administrative fines would remain a district expense, while fines for coach misconduct (for example, ejection) could be the coach's responsibility; the district will work with the coaches' union on next steps.
At the Feb. 25 meeting, Assistant Superintendent Teresa Main outlined proposed revisions to Procedure 6260 to reflect recent Washington Interscholastic Activities Association (WIAA) guideline changes and to clarify responsibility for fines.
Main told the board that fines issued by the WIAA for administrative matters — such as missed deadlines or roster errors — would remain a district expense, but fines resulting from a coach's inappropriate conduct, including ejection from competition, may be the responsibility of the coach to reimburse the district. She said district staff will coordinate the proposed changes with the coaches' union to ensure awareness and appropriate implementation.
The presentation framed the changes as emphasizing transparency and accountability and aligning district expectations with WIAA standards; board members heard the proposed change as an information item and no formal vote on Procedure 6260 was recorded that evening.
Board members and staff indicated they will continue discussions with affected stakeholders as the district moves forward on policy revisions.
