H.     2007-2008 Sea-King Dist. 2 Committees.

b.      John Wiley suggested the possibility of a committee to look at eligibility issues in the district.  Review the reasons that kids transfer in and out of public and private schools.  Jan suggested a review of our district’s results. At present, some 70% of kids moving from private to public gain eligibility while only 35% of kids going from public to private are approved.  We may be able to suggest an amendment to address the issue if there is supporting data.  Some discussion also occurred about whether we should have discussions about the public/private issues.  No decision to do go into this until we get the lead from the WIAA.
c.      Amendment committee.  Develop a committee to review possible amendments that might come out of our district. We will put the amendment discussion on the October agenda to give us the opportunity to discuss any possible issues that may be coming before the rep assembly or that we would like to write up as a district.
 

I.        2007-2008 Sea-King Dist. 2 Annual Goals. 

a.      Last year we discussed following up on the Emerald City boys soccer issue.  The WIAA board approved a policy to allow athletes who are playing a spring sport to waive up to five days of practice if they are participating in a spring sport.

b.      Follow up on recruiting – discussions about how schools work with each other to discuss possible recruiting violations.  How do we support schools that hear about a possible violation and want to talk with another school about it?  Should we be encouraging schools to openly discuss issues?  Board members are asked to discuss this at the league level.  How can we encourage members to be open with each other so that we can help each other avoid possible conflicts?

 

J.       Request for 2B to join the 3A district track meet.  M/S/P the request.  Gill suggests that this is very possible.  The board expressed support.  The board requests that Bob Dowding provide a report at the October meeting about this.

 

K.    Kingco Coaches School – Nov. 30, Dec. 1.  The site will be set in the next couple of weeks…still looking for a school that might be interested in hosting.
