    1. Passed “conflict of interest” policy for WIAA board members.
    2. WIAA will increase dues from 45 to 55 per activity and .30 to .40 per student for next year.
    3. 2008-2009 – pay attention that the calendar takes a jump that year.  Football games won’t start till after labor day and spring sport championships won’t occur till the week after Memorial Day.  This happens every seven years as our schedule is based on the National Federation calendar.
    4. The board developed a transgender participation policy.  There are no state or national policies at this time, so the board tailored a policy based on the international Olympic committee.  This can be found on the WIAA website.
    5. The board reviewed the eligibility appeal process and discussed how cases can be appealed.  New information is required to hold an appeal hearing.  The board is looking at allowing a district or school representative to sit in on hearings to discuss the “new” evidence that may be brought up at the hearing.

 

  1. Sea-King District 2 Executive Board President Report:  Annette Duvall

A.     Annual Eligibility Report – Craig Bakken

1.            Craig reported on the number of hearings by the eligibility committee. We heard 70 cases.  41 were approved, 29 denied.  14 of those cases were appealed to the WIAA.  8 were granted, 6 denied.

2.            Craig handed out the appeal review presented by the WIAA.  The largest number are transfers.

3.            Craig thanked those who served on the committees and invited anyone who might be interested in serving next year to contact him via email.

4.            A district member requested that Craig contact schools when the school is impugned in an appeal without the opportunity to respond.  Craig responded that that type of information is not generally used in the hearing unless data is provided to support the charge.  If needed, Craig would follow up with the school in question.

5.            No cases will be heard unless all paperwork is submitted in advance.

B.     Violations.  League Reps reported violations that have occurred since the last meeting.  M/S/P League actions.  Gill James sits on the WIAA sportsmanship committee and spoke about how the state is trying to track and work with the numbers of ejections.  The committee is looking at ways to use the Scholastic Cup to help promote sportsmanship and the reporting of ejection statistics.

C.     2007-2008 Executive Board Meeting Schedule.  Tabled.  Members are asked to check their 2008 Spring Break schedule.

D.     Review Sea-King Documents – Jan Woldseth and John Wiley met to discuss and propose changes to the By-Laws and Constitution prior to the meeting.

E.      Selection of 3A 2007-2008 Basketball Sites – Craig Olson - We are still looking at BCC and may have to find a replacement for Ingraham HS if their floor is not finished.

F.      Spring Rep. Assembly Review – Discussed the changes.
G.     Presentation of 2007-2008 Sea-King Budget.  Tom reviewed the Sea-King budget with the board in preparation for approval next month.  At the present time, it appears that the budget will be very slim for next year.  The board needs to come up with a balanced budget and to do so may include cuts from this year’s budget and/or some increases in the income ledger.  We need to look at the 4A and 1A contributions to make sure they accurately reflect the costs associated with membership.  We are the only district that does not take a share of the first round playoff revenues and we may need to readjust that.  On the expense side, we need to take a look at financial support we have given for music and sportsmanship as well as our calendar expenses and pay increases for the district director in order to bring about a balanced budget.  This can be reassessed in the fall once we know the accurate amount left in our budget in this year.

H.     Delegates to 2007-2008 Spring Rep Assembly Current representatives will return for another year of service.

 
I.        Appointments to WIAA Committees, Exec Board.  Brent Kawaguchi and Terry Agnew will be the next 4A representatives.
