Minutes

  • approval of minutes of 3/30/04. Moved by Dot B, second by Cynthia H., approved unanimously.
  • reviewed correspondence. Letter from T. Torono concerning conflict of VPA tournaments with a national math competition. To be put on the agenda for summer meeting (Tony will be invited to the meeting).
  • brief financial report given. The winter season came out approx. $33,000 ahead of predictions.
  • discussed proposed policy on participation in individual competitions. Question on whether golf, tennis and wrestling qualify as team or individual sports. Golf and wrestling allow individuals to participate in "invitationals" so students can qualify for the state tournament based on these competitions. Tennis does not have an individual competition format (no invitationals). Agreed that tennis would be removed as an individual sport for this policy and that golf and wrestling would remain. Agreed to eliminate last sentence in #4. Final discussion on the impact of this policy on school choice. Michael explained his view of this. Moved by Dot B., second by D.G. to accept policy with revisions and to forward this on to the Executive Council. Approved unanimously.
  • discussed recommendation from Sportsmanship to require coaches and athletic director/principal to meet with ASC if a team receives more than two ejections in a season (by coaches or athletes). Failure to do so would prohibit entry into the VPA tournament. Moved by John C., second by Cynthia H. to accept recommendation with the addition that this meeting is required even if a team does not enter the tournament or is eliminated from the tournament. Approved unanimously.
  • adjourned in order to meet with the Executive Council.
