3. BOARD DISCUSSION

Topics:

  • Gymnastics
  • District Finances

Minutes

Gymnastics

Athletic Director Bill Beaston said gymnastics as a club sport, if approved, would be a partnership between Tiffin City Schools and the YMCA of Tiffin.  All fees would be passed to the families of the athletes.  There are seven, possibly nine, interested athletes at this time.  There is a proposal from the YMCA for the program.

Larry Kisabeth reiterated his concern with club sports.  He said he was happy the board got rid of pay to participate, but club sports present the same problem of financial hardship or exclusion of those who can't afford the fees.  He also expressed concern about where the funding would come from if and when gymnastics becomes an official Tiffin City Schools sport, such as happened with swim and bowling.

Meagan McBride asked if there is an algorithm guiding what districts can sustain by size.  Ryan Cook said there is a student account guideline.

Dustin Williams said the program would have to meet Tiffin City Schools standards. 

District Finances

Ryan Cook stated the sale of the district-owned land south of Tiffin would be a big shot in the arm to the district's finances.  He said everyone must understand that the financial picture changes and shifts.

Cook reported all codes in the district accounting system have been updated.  He said it improves the tracking of exactly where expenditures are coming from.
