School board approves formal junior high soccer club with modest travel fee
Summary
The board approved creation of a board-sanctioned junior high soccer club for grades 6–8, with volunteer coaches and a $40 travel fee; approval was unanimous 5-0.
The Snake River School Board voted to formalize a junior high soccer club after hearing a presentation from Jr. High Principal Rich Dunn.
Principal Rich Dunn described last year’s informal weekend program — run by high school coaches in partnership with neighboring schools — and said it drew strong participation and family support. Trustees were asked to approve an official club for grades 6–8 that would charge a $40 travel fee and rely on volunteer coaches (no paid stipends). The club would be board-approved to permit use of school facilities, transportation and insurance coverage.
Carol Hepworth moved to approve the club; Toni Ibarra seconded. The motion passed 5-0.
Trustees did not specify the schedule, number of participants expected, or start date beyond the general grades served; logistical details such as collection of travel fees and coach background checks were not described in the meeting record.
