Summary
At a Jan. 11 Hope-Page Public School District 85 committee meeting, Athletic Director Brandon Benth reviewed winter and spring extracurricular activities, forecast participation, and recommended a timeline to study adding a wrestling program; no formal motion or vote was recorded.
Athletic Director Brandon Benth told the Hope-Page Public School District 85 Extra-Curricular Committee on Jan. 11 that the district will study options and a recommended timeline for potentially adding a wrestling program while staff continue to track participation and scheduling for other activities. The meeting, held at Hope-Page High School in Hope, N.D., opened at 8:00 a.m. and adjourned at 9:32 a.m.
Benth presented updates on current winter sports and student clubs and outlined the spring activity calendar, saying the district has prepared a participation forecast for upcoming seasons. The minutes record that participation projections were discussed but do not provide specific numeric estimates.
On the prospect of adding wrestling, Benth described several options and proposed a recommended timeline for future consideration. The minutes indicate the item was presented for committee review and further contemplation rather than for a decision or vote at the meeting.
The committee reviewed a practice-and-game spreadsheet and a forecast covering the 2023–2024 school year and agreed to continue reviewing that material in future work sessions. Benth also provided an update under the agenda item labeled 'AD update,' covering transportation arrangements and event scheduling for district activities; the minutes summarize the updates but do not list detailed scheduling or routing specifics.
No formal motions, votes, or adopted policies are recorded in the minutes. The committee noted attendance by Cindy Hiam, Eric Parkman, Brandon Benth and Ian Grande. The meeting packet and future work sessions were flagged as the venues where staff and committee members will refine recommendations and any timelines for program changes.
