Ellsworth board approves EJSHS E‑Sports club, students present constitution
Summary
The Ellsworth-Kanopolis-Geneseo USD #327 board voted unanimously to establish an EJSHS E‑Sports club after students presented a constitution and by-laws; any paid sponsorship roles will require negotiation with the teachers' association.
The Ellsworth-Kanopolis-Geneseo USD #327 Board of Education voted 6-0 on Nov. 11 to establish an EJSHS E‑Sports club after student presenters outlined a constitution and by‑laws.
Anthony Jundt and Ryan Schultz presented the proposed club structure, explaining rules and governance. Board member Brian Rush moved to approve the constitution and by-laws; David Hand seconded the motion, which passed unanimously.
The board noted that any compensated sponsorship or coaching positions associated with the program must be negotiated with the NEA (teachers' association). The motion approved only the club constitution and establishment; details about season play, supervision, equipment funding, and scheduling were not specified in the minutes and will require further staff work.
Next steps: the district will coordinate with staff and the NEA on sponsorship terms and operational details before paid roles are implemented.
