Summary

District staff reviewed a coaches handbook draft meant to guide off-campus coaches, incorporate concussion return-to-play (ITAP) timelines, and noted near-final football and basketball schedules including some hybrid 8-man games.

A district staff member presented revisions to a coaches handbook intended as a resource for off-campus coaches to reference policies and expectations, not a prescriptive enforcement document. The handbook will include a return-to-play/ITAP plan for concussion management and triggers for team meetings with parents and coaches if recovery timelines exceed set limits.

The staff member said fall sports scheduling is nearly complete and will include hybrid games against some 8-man teams; the district is intentionally limiting Wednesday contests where possible to protect instructional time. "We're gonna embed [the ITAP plan] in there," the staff member said when describing concussion return procedures and the timeline for team meetings if recovery passes a threshold.
