1.       Introduction of Guests:  Jim Meyerhoff (WIAA)
-Jim is the liaison for District 2 and came to review the amendments and other things going on in the WIAA. 
-The next classification period will be a one year period.  District Secretaries have copies of preliminary, unofficial, *(won’t be official until three weeks into each season) allocations and will share those with district boards.  They are for guidance purposes at this time only.  Jim asks that member schools get their registration information back into the WIAA as soon as possible.  
-We will also be doing classification counts again next year.  We are now experienced at it and hope that it will go smoothly this time around as well.  Jim will focus on the “bubble” schools during the process.
- The executive board is requiring that all athletic directors attend the fall AD meetings offered by the WIAA each fall.  Jim will try to tie this in with the WSSAAA board to offer Leadership Training Course #502 on a couple of those dates.
-The coaches’ school will be held again this August 3, 4, 5, 2001 in Yakima.  We will be doing a trial run on the coaches’ certification standards this spring.  Schools will be asked to fill out the information for the WIAA, then help their coaches get the needed hours.  The test run will be due on June 1 and has been sent to the schools.  The coaches’ school will be important in assisting us in getting coaches credited with the proper clock hour requirements.  The WIAA is also looking for teachers for the NFHS Educational programs.  School districts are encouraged to send a representative.  Contact Jim for information.
-Proposed regional wrestling formats are out and the board is looking for input between now and fall.
