D. Morrill explained what led to this meeting. Discussion occurred between the board members on the pros and cons of cooping. They also discussed changes that would need to be made to accommodate schedules, transportation, coaching availability etc. The general consensus was that this needs to be looked at as a long term commitment. Creighton would like to get the survey results back before they continue forward. Both schools will leave the topic on their agenda each month. Both boards agreed to discuss this and make a decision at the August board meeting concerning cooping junior high activities for 2017-2018. It was also discussed that the board consider cooping high school activities in the 2018-2019 school year. The administrators and athletic directors will continue to work on details.
