Board discusses middle-school softball scheduling, to revisit in February
Summary
The board discussed a proposal to add middle-school softball, raised Title IX and scheduling concerns and said the item will return to the February agenda with more detailed cost and compliance information.
Board members discussed a possible middle-school softball program and scheduling concerns for athletes who play multiple seasons. A board member worried about student overuse if summer softball rolls straight into junior-high seasons and then basketball. Administrator Billy (speaker 2) said the district circulated cost sheets and planned to put the item on the February agenda with numbers and Title IX review.
One board member said oversight of scheduling should ensure athletes are not overburdened; Billy noted a Title IX review will be conducted by an external contact and the board will receive more information before any approval. No vote was taken; the board set the item for further consideration in February.
