Parent complaint raises questions about try-out process for youth teams
Summary
An anonymous parent told the board the try-out process is unfair for a child on the B team two years; Director Jamie Cannon said she spoke with the parent and with Eric Kleiner, who "wants to do the right thing for the kids."
During correspondence, a parent letter raising concerns about the youth try-out process was presented to the board. Director Jamie Cannon said the letter came from a parent who chose to remain anonymous and that the parent feels the try-outs are unfair for a child who has been on the B team for two years. Cannon said she spoke with the parent and with Eric Kleiner, who "wants to do the right thing for the kids."
Board members discussed how try-outs are conducted and whether high school coaches should be invited for 7th and 8th grade evaluations; the board confirmed that coach-led rankings are done by number rather than by name. No formal action was taken; the board asked staff to continue communication with involved parties.
