All coaches, equipment managers, athletic aides\assistants and\or others who have athletic responsibilities shall be assigned duties by the Director of Athletics with the approval of the Superintendent.  All such persons shall be employed by the board on an at-will basis with respect to such athletic duties.

Beginning with employees hired for the 2006-2007 school year, the coaching position will be contingent upon the employee's teaching position and the teaching position will be contingent upon the employee's coaching position.  In the event that an employee is non-renewed, discharged, or released from either the coaching or teaching position, he/she may also be relieved from all positions in the district.  If the employee elects to submit a resignation from either his/her teaching position or the coaching position, the employee may be released from both positions.

The Superintendent, with the assistance of the Director of Athletics and the approval of the Board, shall determine the duties and number of days per year to be worked by athletic personnel.  Such determination shall be based on considerations of needs of the individual sports and of the time necessary to coach the activities or sports assigned.

Coaches shall work together to promote all sports.  Coaches shall be present at all home games or athletic events.  All coaches not directly responsible for the sport in season shall assist the responsible coach upon request and within limits established by the Superintendent.

Athletic-related duties are non-instructional and supplementary to the teaching contract.  Therefore, athletic related positions are not subject to the School Employment Procedures Act.
