E.      Spring District Tournament/Play-Off Financial Report.  Marilyn reported on the spring sports financial status.  Only two 3A soccer teams participated in the second round, so income was down.  3A softball expenses were up because of the new situation at Fort Dent. 

F.      Annual Eligibility Report – Mike Ritch

a.      Total Hearings held – 93 down from 160.  We don’t know why there are fewer cases.  We still have transfers and seasons’ limitations, but numbers are down.  May also be related to the ADs doing a better job of educating families about the eligibility rules

b.      18.5.3 – One of the new cases this year involved a student, not a member of the student body, who wishes to play at their home school.  Usually refers to private school students at a school that does not have a particular sport.  Two students appealed and eligibility was granted because the school and the district made the wrong rulings in allowing eligibility after the students had already participated in a sport season and they didn’t want to deny the students after the error.

c.      Visa student appeals are up.  There were fewer transfers who had not participated at their previous school.

d.      August eligibility conference in Ellensburg.  Dan Jurdy, Craig Bakken, and Donna Tyo will attend the meeting.

e.      August 26, Sept. 2, Sept 9 are the dates of the fall eligibility hearings.

G.     WSSAAA Report – John Wiley

H.     Discussion on making the IAC rep a voting member of the board.  Jan is a rep for the school director’s and a member of the IAC.  The School Director’s Association has requested that this position be a voting position.  The board M/S/P to notify the member schools of this proposed by-law change.  This set of minutes will serve as written notification.

I.        Next year - Spring Sports District Tourneys to be held on Memorial Day Weekend.

J.       John Wiley was reelected as the 1A rep.  Doug Bruketta will replace Mike Scott at the 4A level.

 

7.      Sea-King District 2 Executive Secretary Report:

  1. Correspondence.  Emerald City Letter to District 3 1A schools.  Tom reviewed the situation with Districts 1, 2, and 3 at the 1A level.  The WIAA will discuss the number of teams required for a second place “glue” situation this summer.  That may have some impact on the discussions between the districts.  Emerald City offered the opportunity for Dist. 3 schools to participate in our VB, BB, GB tournaments.  They will notify us this week if they choose to accept the offer.  If they choose not to accept the offer, they may appeal to Districts 2 and 4 for entry of their teams to postseason play.  The districts may end up with WIAA making a final decision.  If such a discussion takes place, the Sea-King board would make a decision in September as to how we would approach the situation.  For now, the board supports Emerald City’s attempt to help Dist. 3 by offering a playoff option to them.
