Board reviews draft registration language encouraging support for coaches and advisors
Summary
Board member Ralph presented a draft statement to add to student and athletic registration materials asking parents to support coaches and advisors; members discussed adding a signature/check box in the district's electronic registration workflow (Register My Athlete).
Ralph proposed adding a parent-facing statement to registration materials that recognizes coaches' volunteer time and asks parents to support respectful engagement. "Through sports and activities, students gain valuable life lessons... As a school community, we ask parents to join us in recognizing, supporting, and lifting up our coaches and advisors," he said. He suggested placing the language in electronic registration and, for athletic participation, on the Register My Athlete forms with a check box or signature acknowledging the commitment.
Board members discussed whether requiring a signature might deter participation and noted that administrators can use the language as a resource during conflicts. Ralph said the measure is intended as a proactive, preventive step and asked administrators to integrate the wording and return with any suggested edits.
