The following is taken directly from the Long-Range Planning Report (2004 – 2009) submitted by the Long-Range Planning Committee in September 2004:

PHYSICAL EDUCATION AND ATHLETICS

The District recognizes the important contribution a well-balanced physical education program can make to the affective, cognitive, and psychomotor development of its students. In order to maintain and enhance a strong program, the Committee recommends the following:

RECOMMENDATION ONE:

Charge the Sports Committee to develop a process to evaluate and make recommendations to the Board for modifications to the athletic program when appropriate.  

RECOMMENDATION TWO:

Evaluate the athletic program and make a recommendation relative to the appropriate level of leadership staffing for the District's athletic program. Consider whether a full-time Director of Athletics in an administrative role is needed due to the growing size and complexity of this program.  

RECOMMENDATION THREE:

Strengthen the physical education program through the following suggestions:

-Consider elective offerings at the high school

-Strengthen the fitness portion of the curriculum

-Utilize community resources

-Develop the Project Adventure program K-12

-Redesign the middle school intramural program

-Increase opportunities for lifetime sports e.g. archery, tennis, golf, dance
