Board hears plan for coaches' handbook and concussion return-to-play protocol
Summary
Staff presented a coaches' handbook to guide off-campus coaches, including a return-to-play (ITAP) concussion timeline and plans for mandatory parent meetings; the handbook is framed as a resource rather than a prescriptive rulebook.
Staff reported on a proposed coaches' handbook intended as a resource for off-campus coaches and said the district will embed a timeline-based ITAP plan for concussion return-to-play.
"The primary reason where we wanna move to having a coaching handbook is the fact that we have a lot of off campus coaches," said the staff member (speaker 4). They said the handbook is meant as a resource, not a mandatory script, and that it will include a return-for-concussion (ITAP) plan with timelines and a requirement to convene a team meeting with parents and coaches if certain thresholds are exceeded.
The staff member also described scheduling implications under a block schedule and said mandatory parent meetings will be offered in August and a follow-up session in the fall to ensure families understand policies and coaching expectations.
Why this matters: the handbook and ITAP plan aim to standardize coaching expectations, improve student safety after concussion and ensure parent engagement in athletics oversight.
