Trustees approve SHS bass-fishing team
Summary
The Sweetwater ISD Board of Trustees voted unanimously Oct. 21 to authorize a bass-fishing team at Sweetwater High School after hearing from an organizer and reviewing Texas High School Bass Association rules.
The Sweetwater Independent School District Board of Trustees voted 7-0 on Oct. 21 to approve a high school bass-fishing team at Sweetwater High School following a public forum request.
Matt Hall addressed the board and provided trustees copies of the Texas High School Bass Association rules and information about tournaments the prospective team had already attended. After questions from trustees and staff, Trustee Dennis Cumbie moved to approve the team; Trustee Domingo Castillo seconded the motion, and it carried on a 7-0 vote. The minutes record the motion: “motion was made by Dennis Cumbie to approve the Bass Team, seconded by Domingo Castillo, motion passed 7-0.”
Board members voting in favor were Jeff Allen, Domingo Castillo, Dennis Cumbie, Mark Garcia (Board President), Kelly Sheridan, Tasha Soto and Brenda Valdez. The approval means the extracurricular (subject to any school scheduling, supervision and transportation arrangements) may proceed under district oversight. The minutes do not specify funding or staffing details; those items were not addressed in the recorded discussion.
