Board approves athletic cooperatives with North Wasco for 2026–27 to preserve student opportunities
Summary
Board approved continuation of athletic cooperatives and collectives with North Wasco (District 21) for the 2026–27 school year — covering cross country, swim, golf (co‑op with Dallas), boys volleyball, girls flag football and joint track and field — citing limited local rosters and student access benefits.
The board approved continuation of athletic cooperatives and collectives for 2026–27 with North Wasco (District 21) and other partners to preserve opportunities for students in sports the small district cannot field alone. The superintendent explained co‑ops allow students access to teams (baseball, softball, golf, cross country, swim and track); she said Nikki (athletic director) verified that co‑ops would keep the district within classification numbers for competition.
Board members noted travel will mostly be within the Portland metro area and that some sports (baseball) are unlikely to return for several years due to low local participation. The motion to approve the 2026–27 athletic cooperatives and collectives passed unanimously.
