Board asks administration to develop plan for athletic coaching supplements
Summary
The board directed administration to return in August or September with a plan to implement an athletic coaching supplement (presented previously at about $225,000); members asked for allocation rules if a school lacks a particular sport.
Reverend Martin moved that the administration develop a plan to implement athletic coaching supplements as presented in the May budget work session and return to the board in August or September.
The motion referenced a roughly $225,000 proposal discussed earlier and passed on a voice vote; one member opposed. Ms. Churchill asked how stipends would be allocated if a school does not field a particular sport and whether unused stipends would revert to fund balance. Superintendent Dr. Jackson said current practice with coaching supplements is that funds are not allotted if a position does not exist and those local funds would remain in fund balance or be used elsewhere in the budget, not reallocated automatically to other schools without a local decision.
What’s next: Administration will prepare a plan and bring back details and proposed allocation rules for board consideration in August or September.
