Central A&M discusses potential athletic co-op with Okaw Valley; IHSA deadlines and transportation raised
Summary
Administrators presented data and a student survey on a possible athletic co-op with Okaw Valley; IHSA co-op deadlines (Aug. 1 fall, Oct. 1 winter, Feb. 1 spring) were cited and board members flagged transportation and stakeholder engagement as outstanding issues.
High School Principal Larry Daly presented compilation data and results of a schoolwide student survey on a potential sports co-op with Okaw Valley. Daly said the materials show current and projected numbers for each sport with and without a co-op; he also noted that principals and athletic directors from both districts are collaborating through a shared Google document and that coaches have been involved in discussions.
Member Aaren Rutan asked about IHSA deadlines for co-op agreements; Daly identified the dates as Aug. 1 (fall sports), Oct. 1 (winter sports) and Feb. 1 (spring sports). Board members and Superintendent Sacha Young raised transportation concerns and recommended continued transparent meetings that include community members, coaches and at least one board member as the districts evaluate seasons separately.
