5.      WIAA Executive Board Report:  Craig Olson

• - The board reviewed the strategic plan and requests input on it. 
  - The board talked about the “out of season” definition and asked Mike to publish it again to all schools so there was no question about what was appropriate.
  - Craig handed out a copy of the changes coming in the Coaches’ Education Program.  Jim Meyerhoff developed a Power Point presentation to demonstrate the implementation of the coaches’ education program.  Craig recommends this to all as it is a very well done presentation. 
  - Craig brought to our attention the violation of the WIAA rule requiring that coaches make no negative comments to the press about officials.  The board spent much time discussing this topic, both concerning coaches comments and editorials from local newspapers.  The WIAA board will continue to discuss this topic to try to develop a policy on the penalty phase for this rule.  Craig handed out the assignment procedures for officials for state tournaments and asked that this be presented to each league.
  - The board again discussed the numbers required for the definition of a team.  This will be voted on at the next meeting.
  - The Northwest League requested a tennis experiment for JV, which was approved
  - Shelton requested permission to join District 3 for football only.  The districts originally approved it till there was discussion about allocations being affected.
  - The Seamount change of Districts has not been approved by the WIAA board.  It was tabled as no request for change has been received by District 2, which must approve this first.
  - The board will present a variety of amendments and proposals next year to deal with length of season issues.  They will propose the reduction of football practice requirements to 12, games to 9, the elimination of jamborees, moving the football finals one week earlier, starting winter one week later,  and moving the start and end of spring sports one week later.  These proposals will provide opportunity for discussion on this topic.
  - Craig handed out information on the 3-turn stagger.
  - Discussion about districts going after their own sponsorship agreements (pros and cons) took place, with the idea of getting it on the table rather than coming to a decision about the appropriateness of it..
