Board authorizes 8th-grade girls to play on high school varsity
Summary
The board voted 3–0 to allow 8th-grade girls to play up to the high school varsity girls soccer team after Superintendent Pete Peterson said high-school numbers had dipped; Mr. Flemming and Mr. Peterson will provide updates if needed.
Superintendent Pete Peterson told the board the high school girls soccer program had seen a slight drop in numbers and asked for permission to allow 8th-grade girls to play on the high school varsity team to support forming a squad. Director Gina Warner moved approval and Director Teddy Bryan seconded; the board approved the request 3–0 (Director Dan Raap absent).
Mr. Peterson said he was "not willing to eliminate a program" but that allowing middle-school players to play up should address numbers. The minutes record that Mr. Flemming and Mr. Peterson will keep the board informed of any further developments. No additional conditions, roster limits, or eligibility rules were recorded in the minutes.
