Summary

The board amended a motion and unanimously approved investigating costs to start an adapted bowling team serving cognitive, physical and autistic categories for grades 7–12, with potential participation of about 40 students.

The board approved an amended motion to "approve the investigation of costs to starting an adapted bowling team." The original motion to "approve starting an adapted bowling team" was amended after board member Jessica Crosby asked for clarification to make the motion specifically an investigation of costs; the amended motion (moved by Toni Korpi, seconded by Jessica Crosby) was adopted unanimously.

Activities Director Timm Ringhofer had earlier described the adapted bowling program as having potential for about 40 students across singles, doubles and team events and noted categories for cognitive, physical and autistic participants. The minutes say the board will look at fees, coaches, transportation and uniforms; the motion approved investigating those costs rather than committing to program startup that night.
