Board hears update on coaches handbook and concussion return-to-play plan
Summary
District staff outlined a proposed coaches handbook to support off-campus coaches and described plans to add a return-to-play (ITAP) concussion timeline, coordinate with the school nurse and finalize fall sport schedules.
A staff member briefed the board on a coaches handbook intended as a resource for off-campus coaches, saying it is meant to clarify policy and expectations rather than create a rigid script. The staff member reported they had gathered coach feedback and were embedding an ITAP (return-to-play) concussion plan with timelines and parent/coach involvement.
The staff member said they are coordinating with the school nurse to define the timeline and that if a return extends beyond a set period a team meeting (including parents and coach) will be required. The board discussed sport scheduling under a block schedule, noting connections days and the effect on weekly game days. No formal board action was taken; staff will continue to refine the handbook and schedules for the fall.
