State board ruling: How OSAA must restructure in the future
From the Register-Guard in Eugene:
The State Board of Education has made modest improvements in the way that high school athletic leagues will be restructured in the future. But the board failed to make the bold changes necessary to fix the current six-tier plan that imposes unnecessary hardships on schools in three of the state’s largest communities - and to prevent similarly flawed plans in the future.
Last Thursday, the board unanimously adopted an administrative rule change that will require the Oregon School Activities Association to “consider and address” student safety, loss of class time and costs to school districts the next time it reshuffles athletic leagues.
I just don’t get it. It’s ok for Pendleton to travel to Bend on a regular basis for athletic events, but it’s not ok for McNary to travel to Redmond for the same purpose? Can somebody please explain the logic of all of this to me? And please be careful not to use big words. I live in Eastern Oregon, you know.
