Meeting Minutes

SCHSLA Board Meeting 

Date: 12/4/24

Agenda

• Playoff Dates

  • Reached out to Sarah Hayes at HSL, the response was: “We will definitely take a look at this and let you know if we need anything else from you all.”

  • Currently has the 1st round starting on the Monday After Easter.

• Extending Season

  • This would obviously be for next season, but the more we have done on this now and support from all coaches as well as AD’s and principals, the better chance to get it pushed through.

  • 1 Week at the end of the season?

  • 2 weeks at the end of season?

  • Extending Playoffs?

• District Reps

  • Need to reach out and get more in place so that they can help with communication in season and make sure the All-State process works out the way it is designed to.
