Parents urge Board to explore merged boys varsity soccer with Lyndonville
Summary
Several parents and a community coach asked the Board to revisit a prior decision and explore a combined boys varsity soccer program with Lyndonville to expand athletic opportunities; Board indicated it would re‑examine the request.
Community member and coach Shaun Smith asked the Board to explore forming a combined boys varsity soccer program with Lyndonville, saying parents and the community support the idea and that a merged team could allow athletes to participate in multiple sports in a season. Smith told the Board he is a parent of three varsity athletes and that the proposal would increase opportunity for students.
Other parents — Holly and Ed Rounds — spoke in support during the public comment period, saying the district already fields a girls soccer team and that transportation should not be an obstacle. Mr. Atwater told speakers the district will look into the request and re‑run the process to evaluate whether a merged program is feasible.
