Summary

Board discussed a possible interdistrict sports co-op after staff reported projected team numbers and a survey that was "about half-and-half" on willingness to co-op; Principal Daly suggested the board could have a vote on the matter at the April meeting if sufficient information is gathered.

District administrators reported projected participation numbers for several sports (Girls basketball — 12; Baseball — 15; Girls track — 15; Boys track — 15) and discussed a possible co-op with another district. Principal Larry Daly said his survey results were "about half-and-half" for willingness to co-op and that 60% of respondents said "maybe" they would participate.

Daly proposed creating a committee to hold two meetings with multiple stakeholders to develop a transparent plan; Member Kay Jordan asked for a deadline and suggested the new activity bus could help address transportation concerns. Daly said it might be possible to have enough information to support a vote on the co-op at the April board meeting.
