Executive Board Minutes. Minutes were
approved as written.

5.
WIAA Executive
Board Report: Craig Olson.
A. Staffing – Leah Francis will continue as the business
manager rather than Assistant Executive Director.
B. 2nd & 3rd reading on placing
a number on teams to get glued for allocations. The board chose not to act
because they didn’t want to make a change at this late date.
C. The board is going to take a look at “feeder schools”
for school districts and they redefined the 50 mile radius residence area for
private schools to make reference to middle schools contacts. This takes away the concern our A schools
have about a coach coaching other high school kids besides their own players in
their residence area.
D. Change - 4A championship football state championship
game will take place at 4pm and the 2A game will become the late game.

Sea-King District
2 Executive Board President Report: Gill James
A.
Mike Colbrese, WIAA
1. Opportunity for a second team to get
“glued”. The board defeated it because
they didn’t want to implement it in the “middle” of a cycle. They also decided to discuss the topic along
with an overall picture of allocations over the year.
2. Initiatives. The board will be reviewing initiatives on
the following topics:
- Rep Assembly. The board will look at the size and makeup
of the assembly. Study to see if it is
time to grow the size so that more people feel involved in the process.
- Eligibility Committees and
Violation Reports should be studied so that we can determine if there has been
consistency in addressing and reporting these topics. There may be a recommendation on violations that they get
reported to districts instead of leagues.
We also need to review consistency of Eligibility committee cases
decisions.
- Bringing consistency to use of
shot clock in basketball. The board
will review whether to make the use of a shot clock consistent for both boys
and girls. This could be either adding
to boys or deleting from girls.
Washington is one of 7 states with a shot clock.
3. The state principal’s association
has aggressively tried to get events moved off the WASL dates. State Music Festival will move to a late
March date in order to accommodate this.
Multiple spring breaks cause great difficulty for this. WIAA will try to work with districts
throughout the state to reduce to one of two weeks for a spring break.
4. Emerald City Classic. Mike reported that this was a phenomenal
day. The entire bottom bowl of Quest
Field was filled for the contests. Last
year WIAA netted $50K. this year WIAA netted over $180K. It provided visibility for high school
sports and diversified the association’s revenue sources. The board agreed to bring in a couple of out
of state teams again next year.
5. Mike is looking at bringing 3A
basketball back to Seattle in 2006-2007.
This would necessitate a change in weekends for the 3A and 4A tourney.

Fall District Tournament Dates, Sites & Managers
1. 3A VB Lines-people – M/S/P to
approve Lines-people for district tourney
2. 3A Kingco Proposed Rules & Regs
Amendment. Kingco proposed to change
the rules and regs to include providing “glue”for leagues larger than six in
the years that they only have one allocation to the state tournament. Jana moved to not schedule a special meeting
to discuss this issue, and to place it on the November 8 agenda to discuss for
spring sports. M/S/P This effectively means that we will stay
with the given numbers for Football.
The proposal is still open for discussion for Boys Soccer and Baseball.

Correspondence. Eastside
Catholic added stronger language for suspension of coaches at their
school. They will suspend coaches for
an additional two games and fine them as well.
Kingco league has added to its by-laws that those who are ejected for

leagues are taking action to end ejections.
