V. ACTION/DISCUSSION ITEMS<br />
A. District<br />
1. Annual Activities Report<br />
HS Activities Director presented the annual activities report. The new<br />
format was discussed.<br />
Girls’ bowling has been recently sanctioned at the state level. <strong>Indianola</strong> will<br />
need to decide whether to sanction the sport locally. The annual estimated<br />
expense to add bowling would be $5,000. Girls’ bowling is a winter sport.<br />
A concern was noted that students are under the impression they must<br />
participate in the summer bigger-faster-stronger program (BFS) in order to<br />
be considered for team sport participation. Coaches do encourage studentathletics<br />
to participate in BFS. Attendance expectations are clearly<br />
communicated prior to registration. The physical education teacher work<br />
with students individually based on conflicts. The BFS class is designed to<br />
promote student strength and agility.<br />
