Executive Summary

      10465 Student Participation and Coaches Needed

Minimum participation levels required to support athletic teams and marching bands sponsored by schools of the Warren County School District are provided in the table below.  In the event that the minimum participation level is not met for an athletic team or marching band, the Superintendent or his or her designee shall render a determination, based upon the best interest of the District and any applicable laws or PIAA regulations, as to whether the athletic team or marching band will be eliminated for that particular year.  The Superintendent or his or her designee is authorized to develop and implement administrative procedures relative to such determinations.  Additionally, the Superintendent shall inform the Board in writing any time that an athletic team or marching band is eliminated for a particular year due to the fact that the minimum participation level is not met.  In the event that an athletic team or marching band is eliminated for a particular year due to the fact that the minimum participation level is not met, the athletic team or marching band eliminated shall be re-instated for any subsequent year in which the minimum participation level is met unless the Board, in accordance with the succeeding paragraph, elects to eliminate the athletic team or marching band.  

In the event that a school desires to eliminate an athletic team or marching band for any reason, other than due to the fact that the minimum participation level is not met, the matter shall be presented to the Board for a decision as to whether the athletic team or marching band will be eliminated or sustained.  In the event that the Board approves the elimination of an athletic team or marching band, the athletic team or marching band shall only be reinstated upon Board approval of the proposed reinstatement. 

In the event that, in accordance with this policy, an athletic team or marching band is eliminated at one school, but not at all schools within the District, the impacted students shall be provided with the opportunity to participate on another team within the District, subject to any applicable laws or PIAA regulations. The Superintendent or his or her designee shall, at his or her sole discretion, determine the school at which the student is permitted to participate based on factors including, but not limited to, the students proximity to each school, the number of participants participating on the band or team at each school, and applicable laws or PIAA regulations.  The transportation relative to said students shall be governed by Policy 5420.  Unless an athletic team or marching band is eliminated in accordance with this policy, or unless otherwise required by law, students shall only be permitted to participate as a part of the team or band at the school to which the student is assigned in accordance with Policy 10102.

Staffs of athletic teams and marching bands sponsored by schools of the Warren County School District shall not be funded in excess of the sum of the contract values of the positions indicated as prescribed by student participation in that activity.  If the Board exercises its prerogative to offer more than the minimum salary based upon an employee’s qualifications or experience that excess shall be added to the sum of the contract values.  Provisions of Policy 10465 shall be administered as per the approved procedure to the Policy.
