Board approves athletics travel, bus charters and funding allocations
Summary
The board approved multiple athletics requests including coach and student travel, use of two charter buses for a varsity game paid by boosters, and an athletic line item described in the transcript as 'Bridal' totaling $16,000 (split $11,000 county athletic funds, $5,000 donations).
Jason Williamson, the district athletic director, presented four athletics items: a coach workshop in Parkersburg, travel for the varsity football team to Lincoln County (with two charter buses to be paid by football boosters), a coaches education meeting, and the renewal of an athletics line item recorded in the transcript as "Bridal" for $16,000 ($11,000 county athletic funds; $5,000 athletic donations).
Board members approved the athletic requests by voice vote. The transcript records that athletes' and coaches' meals will be covered by the athletic office, while chaperone and bus-driver meals will be paid by boosters.
The transcripted label "Bridal" for the $16,000 line item is unclear; meeting minutes and finance staff should be consulted to confirm the correct line-item name and precise funding breakdown.
