CAPE ELIZABETH SCHOOL BOARD
The Extra Curricular Ad-Hoc Committee met on May 19, 2007 at 8:00 AM to review recommendations of the Districts Extra Curricular Committee.
Janet Hoskins provided a presentation on the Middle School Athletics and a proposal for changes in the fee structure for the 2009-2010 school year. Included in the Committees evaluation was a break down of student participation during the 2008-2009 school year. The break down included the number of participants and the number of sports they participated in for grades 6-8. The committee compared the cost of the programs with the fees paid by the parents and discussed alternatives to reduce the cost to the parents without adding costs to the Districts budget. The projected expense of the Middle School Sports for 2009-2010 is $39,000. The Districts Extra Curricular Committee has made a recommendation to alter the fees for the participants which incorporates a One Time Athletic Administrative Fee of $40.00 plus a $50.00 Fee per sport. There would also be a $25.00 refundable deposit for uniforms which can be rolled over from sport to sport. The new fee structure equates to a reduction of the fees from $125 per family to $90.00 per family for the majority of the participants. The Extra Curricular Ad-Hoc Committee agreed with their recommendation as presented for a change in the Athletic fees for the Middle School.
The Committee has also addressed several issues concerning Hannaford Field. There was discussion regarding the timing of scheduled games, the portable public address system and fee structure for field use. The District’s Extra Curricular Committee has proposed changes to the Use of Facilities Regulation, KF-R to reflect these changes. The Extra Curricular Ad-Hoc supports the recommended changes; a copy of the revised document is attached. Revisions for Guideline for Use of Turf Field for School Activities (KF-R-1) was discussed with minor revisions suggested. A revised draft of the form to follow.
Jeff Thoreck also presented information from Mike Ott regarding an insignia plaque and Legends plaques for placement on the coach’s box. The committee member’s recommendation was to have a written proposal from Kid’s Turf to include specifications and placement of the plaques they wish to provide for approval of the School Board and Town Council. Members made a recommendation for the formation of a committee establish guidelines and to review individuals nominated for a Legend’s Plaque.
Jeff Thoreck provided a brief review of the Booster meetings held this past year and his work with Janet to develop a Booster Council which would act as a vehicle to solicit support from the individual booster groups for support of all extra curricular activities. The members of the District’s Extra Curricular Committee shall continue to work on development of the Booster Council.
The meeting adjourned at 9:30 AM.
