September 2009 WIAA meeting - Glue
Sean on Sun Oct 11, 2009 2:53 am
AUDIENCE – CARIBOU TRAIL LEAGUE, DISTRICT 6, CHELAN HIGH SCHOOL
---Scott Raab, AD, Chelan High School
---Scott Brown, AD, Cashmere High School
---Bruce Campbell, District 6 Director
---Ken Bruner, Board Director, Chelan
The group explained their belief that the “glue” is not consistent with the letter or spirit of the WIAA allocation system in that the current allocation system advances the best teams in the district to the
next level, that the “glue” creates a systematic inequality between WIAA districts since
only a district with one allocation can challenge or glue with another district, and that the
“glue” is not fair to the challenged district.
Mr. Campbell added that, due to the timing of the allocations in the first year of the allocation cycle, negotiations between the affected districts become strained, it is difficult to secure facilities, and contact information provided to the WIAA staff and state tournament managers often arrives late.
Mr. Bruner added that the extra contests that are held often prohibit parental involvement
and support due to prearranged schedules and can add a burden for additional travel on
a school night, which can impact classroom performance. With the current financial
situation in the schools, the additional expenses incurred with the additional contests is
being questioned.
District 6 is requesting that the philosophy of state qualifying events should be consistent, in that either sending the best to state is the philosophy (and therefore open up the challenge or glue to a district with any number of allocations) or utilization of the current allocation system in which the best teams from the WIAA district qualify and eliminate the “glue.”
District 6 requested that WIAA rule 25.2.6 be removed from the WIAA Handbook.

December WIAA meeting to vote

CARIBOU TRAIL LEAGUE REQUEST TO REMOVE WIAA HANDBOOK RULE 25.2.6
Mr. Colbrese suggested more input from other areas of the state would be helpful in
dealing with the request to eliminate WIAA Handbook rule 25.2.6, the “glue.”
Lindgren/Juarez moved for board members to bring up this issue during the next
district meetings for the purpose of determining whether the policy should remain in
place or be modified. MOTION PASSED.
