Board hears cooperative swimming agreement with Dufur for 2025–26; no vote recorded in minutes
Summary
Athletic Director Jim Taylor presented a cooperative sports agreement allowing Dufur students to swim with North Wasco County SD 21 for the 2025–26 school year; Taylor said the co‑op will not move the district to 5A this year and would allow every Dufur girl to participate.
Athletic Director Jim Taylor presented a cooperative sports agreement with Dufur School District that would allow Dufur students to join North Wasco County SD 21 for swimming during the 2025–26 school year. Taylor said the arrangement enabled more teams (notably girls' teams) to field full rosters and would not change the district’s 4A classification this year.
"This is a Co-op for swimming – means every girl in Dufur can come swim with us. Doesn’t put us in 5a level this year," Taylor said when describing the arrangement and its immediate competitive implications. He also noted press attention to a Dufur soccer game but said the swimming co‑op is intended to allow student participation rather than alter classification.
The transcript records the presentation and questions but does not include a formal board vote in the excerpt provided. If the board moves to finalize the cooperative agreement, the district will record any motion, second and vote in a subsequent entry or packet.
