COACHES SERVING AS ATHLETIC DIRECTORS

3218

The Board of Education believes that the duties, time requirements, and responsibilities of coaches and athletic directors are very demanding, and that a coach or athletic director can be a more effective employee if he/she is not serving in both capacities at the same time.  However, the board recognizes that this separation of assignments will not always be possible.  The board also believes that the principal of a school is in the best position to determine who will serve as coaches and who will serve as athletic director.

3218.1

As long as there exists a shortage of qualified and/or interested teachers who wish to be coaches or athletic directors, the principal may hire one teacher to serve concurrently as coach and athletic director.

3218.2

If one person is chosen by the principal to serve as both coach and athletic director, that person will receive extra-duty pay for both assignments in accordance with the extra-duty implementation guidelines.
