Coach Shane Hedrick named temporary athletic director as district seeks permanent replacement
Summary
After Athletic Director James Rice accepted a principal position elsewhere, the board was told head football coach Shane Hedrick will serve temporarily as athletic director while the district posts a 0.8 athletic director position and seeks candidates; Hedrick will retain a 0.2 teaching assignment.
The board heard that Athletic Director James Rice accepted a principal position in another district and will be released from his Cascade SD 5 contract. Administration announced that head football coach Shane Hedrick "has agreed to temporarily be our athletic director." Hedrick will continue to teach one class (0.2 FTE) — the weight-training class — while covering athletic-director duties, and the district will post a 0.8 position.
Superintendent said the district will also use other staff (mister Rasmussen, mister Woodrow, miss Walisa) and paid stipends to manage game-day responsibilities (11 varsity home soccer games cited) so operations remain covered and the district's budget remains balanced while a permanent hire is sought. The board discussed posting timelines and the district's preference to recruit in the spring for the best candidate pool.
