Bannockburn SD 106 keeps small-school athletic structure; coaches offered workshop option
Summary
Superintendent Scott Herrmann told the Board that, given small enrollment and year-to-year changes in team size, the district will maintain its current athletic program; coaches may attend optional coaching workshops. The board discussed facilities constraints at the same meeting.
Superintendent Scott Herrmann told the Bannockburn School District 106 Board of Education on Feb. 10 that the district will keep its current student athletic program organization because small enrollment and year-to-year variability in team size make major structural changes impractical. Herrmann said coaches would "have the option to attend coaching workshops if they would like to," preserving continuity while offering professional development.
The decision came during the administrator's report, where Board members pressed staff about capacity and support for extracurriculars. The minutes note no formal motion on athletics; the board's actions on facilities (see related coverage) were discussed in the same block of business. The meeting was called to order at 7:01 p.m.; five members were present and two were absent.
