The
board has concerns about several amendments.
The opt up implications won’t be known till we go through the process
and see what the effect is, especially on the 2A classification. The scholarship
rule changes provide some challenges that will require the board to take a look
at the interpretation of the rule. The
new transfer rule will cause more of a caseload for the eligibility committees
in WIAA districts that have multiple high school S.D.s. The “Clerical Error” amendment will also
require the board to provide some interpretations in the future.

Presentation of 2008-2009 Sea-King Budget - Marilyn distributed the budget
projections for next year.
a.
Option 1. The first budget presented
operated as if we keep doing things exactly as we have done them in the past;
with this proposal, the district would end up with approximately a $24,000
deficit. Obviously, we can’t operate in
a deficit, so we need to look at other options. We need to look at decreasing expenses (e.g. WSSAAA dues and
Calendars) and we need to find ways to increase revenue (increased service
fees, ticket prices, 1st round monies, passes, etc.)
b.
Option 2. Marilyn presented a budget
with increased service fees – charging service fees based on classification,
not on student numbers. Other districts
operate this way. In our district,
different from others, we decided years ago that we, rather than keeping 1st
round contests and providing the schools with an “excess funds” check at the
end of the year, would allow the leagues to maintain first round monies. Most districts keep the first round or a
percentage of the 1st and 2nd round monies to cover the costs
of the district overhead. District 1
sells district supervisory passes for contests. One recommendation was to add the cost of 5 to 7(for each season)
supervisory passes to the service fee.
Each school would receive passes.
c.
The
board recommended coming up with a sponsor for calendars, raising ticket
prices, raising service fees, selling supervisor passes. Pay WSSAAA dues only for board members and
eligibility committee members at a minimum.
Try to keep the whole thing in the budget. Recommend changing the amount in reserve from $40K to $35K.
