Families push for girls hockey co‑op; Pine City AD reportedly noncommittal, board to follow up
Summary
Board discussed a citizen request to pursue a girls hockey cooperative. The district’s AD reported Pine City’s AD was verbally not interested and would not put that refusal in writing; board members asked staff to follow up with Pine City and other potential partners and return with more information next month.
The board heard a request to pursue a girls hockey cooperative and discussed outreach efforts to neighboring schools. District athletic director Mandy reached out to Pine City’s AD; according to the district’s account, Pine City verbally indicated it was not interested and declined to provide that position in writing.
Board members noted several possible explanations — including enrollment thresholds that affect co‑op classification — and discussed contacting Pine City’s superintendent directly and exploring other partner districts. Members said transportation availability and potential participant numbers could change participation over time.
No formal action was taken; the board asked staff to continue outreach and to return with additional information at next month’s meeting.
