REGULAR MEETING Unofficial Minutes Board of Education February 27, 2013 Ind. School District 739 Kimball, MN
The board meeting was called to order by chair Schreiner at 6:00 p.m. with all members except Stenger present. The Pledge of Allegiance was said by all in attendance.
Paul Filzen requested that the board, in planning for the 2013-2014 school year, look at the equity in coaching staff between sports given the number of participants in each sport. Currently most sports – football, volleyball, basketball, softball and baseball – have four coaches from head coach down to seventh and eighth grade. Wrestling has only three coaches, with only one junior high coach, and they have a similar number of participants as the other sports. The board agreed to look at this in their planning.
