Athletic director highlights championships, 36 college‑signed athletes and plans for middle school soccer
Summary
Athletics director reported multiple conference and state honors, 36 student‑athletes signing college scholarships and plans to launch middle school soccer and expand conditioning staff; the board also discussed installing locker‑room audio under state law.
Paul, the district athletics presenter, told the board the district recorded 10 West Conference champions and six state champions or runners‑up across programs and said 36 student athletes signed college scholarships this year. "We had 10 West Conference champs and 6 state champions or runners up across the district," he said, listing several individual honors.
The presentation described new strength and conditioning positions, tournament growth and plans to introduce middle school soccer (7th and 8th grades to start). Board members and administrators also discussed a state requirement to install audio in locker rooms (referred to in the meeting as "Eli's Law"); presenters clarified the district intends audio recording only, no video, tied into existing Avigilon systems to provide evidence if harassment occurs when staff are not present.
The athletic director said the district is exploring turf for middle school practice fields over multiple years and will revisit staffing requests for coaching positions as participation grows.
