Board reviews and approves Athletic Equity Act submission and data transparency
Summary
Staff presented the district’s Title IX-related Athletic Equity Act report showing coaches, athlete counts, expenditures and per-athlete spending; the board approved submission and praised transparency.
Staff presented the district’s Athletics Equity Act report (federal athletic-equity reporting often tied to Title IX), describing a detailed spreadsheet with tabs showing coaches, athlete counts, expenditures and per-athlete figures. A presenter explained that equipment-heavy sports can appear to receive more funding because of high equipment costs ("If you purchase a football helmet... you want to spend high quality because that's protecting somebody's brain").
The presenter said the report is being shared for transparency even though the district is not required to bring it to the board every year. The board moved, seconded, and unanimously approved the Athletic Equity Act program submission and the associated reporting materials.
