Board hears pilot report on Unified Track; coaches forecast growth
Summary
Seward coaches and Activities Director Scott Curry described a pilot Unified Track program with four athletes and 11 partners, meet results and a plan to grow to about 10 athletes over two years. Coaches said they will likely need para support and uniforms as participation increases.
Activities Director Scott Curry ("Mr. Curry") and coaches Candice Bridgford and April Roth reported on the district's pilot Unified Track program, describing participation numbers, events contested and staff time required. The pilot included four athletes and 11 partners competing in events such as the 100m dash, relays, long jump and shot put; coaches noted successful finishes in community meets and a forecast that athlete numbers could grow to 10 within two years.
Coaches outlined next steps: explore a district-level meet, arrange para support for athletes with higher needs, and secure uniforms. "Will need to add para support due to higher needs of athletes — will need uniforms," the program summary recorded (SEG 156). The board thanked coaches for the pilot report and placed Unified Track follow-up on a future agenda.
