November 17th is the date for the Conference Volleyball meeting. Open gyms will be scheduled then evaluations. Season typically starts in January. Bethlehem Prep Volleyball was discussed. Gilly Simpsonhad sent out letters to the Catholic schools. Mr. Haun reported that he has not received a letter at this time. Volleyball teams will be denoted as Red and White teams this season. More uniforms will need to be ordered.
The Parish Hall was discussed to be used for Intermediate basketball through the 4th grade teams. It is not usable for volleyball due to having to take down the 6 chandeliers. Sean Anderson asked about the use of the hall for archery. Mr. Haun is to get with Marda and see if that would be doable. The cafeteria is too small for the archery team.
Academic Eligibility was discussed and questions were asked as to where we were looking at changing the eligibility standards. Mr. Haun said he would speak with Ms. Bradley. Discussion about including Behavior on Eligibility was discussed. Mrs. Bradley will speak with the faculty about the direction to go on whether or not student athletes should be allowed to participate in games if they have been in trouble.
Test to Stay was explained and how it only dealt with staying at school. Students who are exposed to COVID can test at school and can stay at school if their test is negative. If students are having to be tested, they cannot participate in sports until their 5 days of negative testing is completed. This is by Archdiocese policy. There is no Test to Play at this time. Mr. Haun was asked to check with the Archdiocese to see if Test to Play was in discussion.
The Financial statement was given. There were no questions.
