Board delays vote on junior‑varsity lacrosse; staff to return in December with cost details
Summary
After questions about equipment, coach stipends, insurance and roster requirements, the board voted to defer final approval of a junior‑varsity lacrosse team until the December meeting and requested detailed cost estimates and staffing plans.
The board discussed whether to establish a junior‑varsity lacrosse team and voted to delay a final decision until the December meeting. District staff explained that KSAA requires roughly 20 players to field a varsity roster, so the proposal focused on a JV team with smaller rosters; the proposer had budgeted for 20 players as a conservative figure. Board members raised concerns about equipment safety, insurance, coach stipends and scheduling conflicts with spring sports.
Supervisor and board members agreed to return the item with a more detailed budget and staffing request in December. The motion to postpone (move and second recorded) passed by roll‑call vote (Jason Collins, Scott Brown, Steve Carmichael, Sunny F, James Sergeant voting yes).
