Board renews 28E cooperative agreements for swimming, tennis and girls wrestling
Summary
The board approved several 28E sharing agreements to continue cooperative athletic programs — swimming (expanded to younger grades), boys tennis and girls wrestling — with neighboring districts and private schools at prior rates.
The board approved three 28E cooperative agreements that continue shared athletic programs with neighboring districts and private schools.
Staff described the swimming agreement — which includes Central Lee, Danville, Fort Madison, Holy Trinity, Minneapolis, Mount Pleasant, Notre Dame and West Burlington — and said it would continue at the same rate as prior years while expanding eligibility to younger grades. The board approved the swimming agreement, then separately approved 28E agreements for boys tennis with Danville, Notre Dame and West Burlington and a girls-wrestling sharing agreement with Notre Dame and West Burlington.
Board members noted costs can vary by program and that the agreements keep smaller programs viable through shared resources; all three cooperative agreements were approved by voice vote.
