DISCUSSION

1. Authority and responsibilities of District IV

George Crawford suggested that we put something together outlining the authority and responsibilities of District IV to give to District IV Superintendents. He felt this would help them understand District IV’s role in activities.

2.  Meeting with Basketball Assigning Secretary’s

Tim Trimble reported on the meeting with the assigning secretary’s of the local Basketball Officials Associations.  (Lower Columbia was not present)

1.      Very informative meeting.

2.      All associations have different fees, and procedures for assignment to do contests.

3.      Officials want more input in the selection process for District events

4.      Associations were told that this Committee would make recommendations to District IV for a fee structure for the 2006-2007 season for all schools

M/S/P that the following fee structure be adopted for the 2006-2007 Basketball season

1.      Mileage rate 44.5 cents

2.      10% assigning fee for those that do not pay on site, 5% assigning fee for those who pay on site.

3.      If a second crew is sent out to do a JV game no mileage reimbursement.

4.      This motion does not apply to the Evergreen Associations as they have a signed contract in place, upon the termination of this contract they will be under the same fee structure.

  A member of the Officials Association may be present at the District Selection process, providing they are not on the list for selection to do a District event.

 

3.  District IV sportsmanship guidelines.

All leagues have not yet reviewed the guidelines, Tabled until November meeting

4. Mike Colbrese, WIAA Executive Director

    Mike reviewed the following:

1.      New WIAA Executive Board selections.

2.      Officials:  are they private contractors or employees

3.      Role of District Directors in the appeal process.

4.      Survey of coaching salaries in the state

5.      Committee to meet to discuss and recommend changes in the Transfer rule.

6.      State to look at recruiting guideline, “What is and what isn’t”

7.      Committee formed to look at crowd controls guidelines.

8.      State to look at scholastic guidelines.

9.      On-line rules clinic’s, winter clinic will be available Nov 1st

10.  Question of the day “Definition of a squad”

District IV appreciates Mike taking time out of his busy schedule visit with us.

5. Amendments for 2007

            Transfer

1.      The rule only applies to school districts, thus single high    school district are at a disadvantage.  Terry Cavender will have a proposed amendment for the November meeting

Public/Private

1.      Director Frazer handed put the proposed amendments from District V.

2.      It was unanimously felt something was needed to even the playing field, the above amendments did not necessarily do that.  Representatives were to go to their leagues and come to the November meeting with any alternatives.

Foreign Exchange

1.      It was generally felt that with number of good athletes being shopped around to schools this is having a huge impact on some schools ability to access post season.  The pressure of coach’s to win or “Keep up with the Jones” is creating an unfair advantage for some schools.  An amendment regarding a proposed change is in the discussion stage

Academic probation for fall sports.

1.      The five-week probation only affects the fall sports.  In the future there is the possibility of two football games before school starts.  This could mean an athlete could miss up to six football games.  Amendment is in the discussion stage.

Also discussed were concerns about the 8-year time period before the redoing of the numbers, and impact of opting up.
