A plan for out of season coaching needs to be submitted to the Athletic Direc= tor for approval. Both coaches, in and out of season, must mutually agree to th= is plan. No out of season coaching on the in-season game day (i.e. no basketba= ll work-outs on Friday during football season).

· CPS currently has Varsity Baseball & Varsity Girls’ Track coaching positions available. Bob Kolakovich is recommended to fill the position of Varsity Girls’ Basketball Coach.

· Transportation with athletics worked well this year. Meeting the bus in Sandusky to pick up career center stude= nts helped alleviate time issues.

· The Athletic Committee recommends that cement handicapped ramps be put at the athletic concession stand and entrance to the track. Also, the shot-put and discus areas should be moved to the athletic field.
