Board approves one-year baseball co-op amid OSAA classification changes
Summary
The board approved a one-year athletic co-op allowing Helix students to play baseball with Milton-Freewater; staff said Helix currently has one student for baseball and OSAA rule changes will likely prevent co-ops next year.
District staff described a one-year athletic cooperative that the board approved to allow Helix students to participate on district teams this season.
The staff presentation explained that Helix has a single student interested in baseball; "one student for baseball," staff said while explaining an email exchange with OSAA showing a 10% allowance this year. Staff cautioned the arrangement likely will not be allowable next year under new OSAA classifications, so the co-op was recommended only for the current season. The board approved replacement of the athletic co-op agreement with Phoenix High School District to accommodate the request and noted the co-op should not require additional coach hires or bus changes this season.
Board members asked about travel and Pendleton distances; staff said Pendleton was an option but current travel arrangements make this agreement workable for this year only.
