B.     Violations - League actions approved

C.     Seamount League Status – Rick Stubrud.  The PCL and Seamount leagues met today and decided to expand to a 15 team Seamount League.  This will enhance opportunities in both athletics and activity programs throughout both leagues.  They also recommended that the Seamount league move to District 3 for next year. 

D.     Seatac 1A/B League Status – Four schools are moving to A from our district.  The Bear Creek School will opt up and Overlake will be moving to the District.  On Jan. 17, the principals will meet to approve this change.  The remaining Seatac B schools will continue as a B League.  The Seaking board encourages the A and B schools to continue to meet on a regular basis as a portion of their state and district competition is combined and they will need to cooperate to make these tournaments function efficiently.

E.      The two league changes will require constitution and by-law changes for next year.

F.      4A Wrestling Regionals.  Eastlake High School will host this tournament.  The board approved this recommendation.  Pete Puccio will be the manager.

G.     Election of Sea-King District 2 Athletic Director of the Year.  Marilyn will send out a copy of the resumes of the candidates.  In addition the board members will receive a ballot to vote for the AD of the Year.  That ballot will be returned within a week and the election will be reported to the leagues.

- Greater Seattle Volleyball requested a meeting of our district and league reps to get together and to determine schedules for next year.  They are short officials, so we need to help leagues agree to participate on different days.  A meeting will be held in late January with reps to discuss this issue.  Bruce Dubois would like to be invited to discuss the Junior High issue for volleyball as well.
