6.      Sea-King District 2 Executive Board President Report:  Bruce Dubois

A.     Fall Eligibility Report – Mike Ritch.  Mike distributed a report outlining the results of fall hearings.  We heard 71 cases since last spring.  The WIAA asked the district to no longer hear fifth year cases in June, to hold them over to September as there were only two districts doing this.  48 appeals were granted, an additional 17 were granted with conditions.  15 were denied.  Only 30 regular hearings took place this fall.  The district change of league members has led to fewer cases.  8 cases were appealed to the WIAA, while two of those were granted.  The season’s limitation rules’ appeals represent a growing phenomenon as our population changes.  One case went through all the appeals, then went to court.  The WIAA prevailed in that case of a fifth year of participation.  We are also beginning to see more examples of students who want to play at a school other than their attendance school when they are students at a private school, an alternative, or home school.    Mike thanked all the eligibility committee members who so generously give of their time and energy serve the kids in our district.  Bruce reiterated the thanks on behalf of the board to all who serve so willingly.

B.     Violations

C.     Election of 2001-2002 Executive Board President Elect – Chris Hoffman, Bellevue HS, graciously accepted the position.

D.     District Tournament Allocations.  Kingco 3A requested that the size of the district cross country tournament be increased to allow six boys teams to participate in the district meet.  The board discussed the ramifications of allowing more entries and the precedence that would be set by making a change.  The board then voted to deny the request to increase the meet size.

E.      1A/B Soccer Draws.  See draw

F.      3A Football & Soccer Draws.  See draw

G.     Fall District Tournament Dates, Sites, Formats, Managers.

H.     2001-2002 Sea-King District 2 Committees

I.        2001-2002 Sea-King District 2 Annual Goals.  Jana requested discussion about the coaching standards and possible means for offering sessions for coaches.  Several ideas were floated including an amendment to exclude volunteers from the requirement.  There is a need to track hours as well as to provide clock hour opportunities.  A suggestion to come up with tapes of sessions that might help us to meet the standards met with great enthusiasm.  A committee will meet prior to the next meeting to brainstorm suggestions.  Jan Truant and Don Huston will be invited to join us.  The meeting will begin at 2:30.

J.       Review of Oct. 1st Enrollment Figures & State Tournament Allocations

K.     Site Selection for Football/Soccer.  Meeting scheduled with District 1, 2, 3, 4 secretaries for Oct. 30 to set sites for first and second round contests this fall.

L.      WIAA Insurance (L & I/Catastrophic).  The WIAA liability limits have been increased dramatically and our district tournament coverage increased to just over $5000.

7.       Sea-King District 2 Executive Secretary Report: Tom & Marilyn Doyle

  2. Review Cash Flow Sea-King Accounts.  Marilyn presented information requested by Jef concerning standard district costs.  Our by-laws require us to carry over $40,000 from year to year.  The board asked Marilyn to present info on the breakdown of expenses and income that require keeping that amount in the district account.  The board reviewed the numbers and took them into consideration for further discussions on the topic.
