Union SD 5 Directs Creation of Parent/Team Handbook to Define Sportsmanship and Consequences
Summary
The board charged staff, coaches, parents and the athletic director to draft a team/parent handbook that defines sportsmanship expectations and lists example behaviors and consequences before next fall's season.
Board members directed staff to work with coaches, administrators, the athletic director and parents to produce a sportsmanship handbook that gives clear examples of unacceptable conduct and spells out consequences.
"We expect to set the example," the Chair said, asking that the handbook include concrete examples and disciplinary steps so the district can be explicit with parents in advance of next fall. The board asked that stakeholders help draft the handbook over spring and summer and present a draft before the next sports season; follow‑up tasks were assigned to athletics and administration.
