Whitehall board approves athletic director and coaching hires
Summary
The Whitehall School District board approved a slate of athletic hires, including an athletic director and multiple high-school and middle-school coaches; the elementary coaching slate was approved separately and both motions passed by voice vote.
The Whitehall School District board approved the district's proposed athletic hires after the Superintendent presented a revised list at the meeting.
Superintendent Hannah Eastkins read the slate of nominees, saying, "we do have, for high school, Bridal McClain coming on as athletic director and coaches Koenig, Adam, Slater, Hay, Miyoki, Hariff, Larson, Newman, Neeskins, McClain, Hariff, Hoover, Nelson, Scribe" and naming a separate set of middle-school coaches. A committee member moved to approve the elementary coaching slate; that motion was seconded and passed by voice vote. The board then moved and approved the high-school coaching staff and athletic director in a separate motion after brief discussion about a coach's availability.
Why it matters: Athletic staffing affects fall-season readiness, roster assignments and after-school programming. The board handled the hires as two distinct approvals—one motion for elementary/middle-school coaches and a separate motion covering the high school coaching staff and athletic director.
The board did not record individual roll-call votes in the transcript; motions were made, seconded and carried by voice vote during the meeting.
