ATHLETIC COUNCIL

The Athletic Council will advise the School Committee on matters related to athletics. The suggested composition of the Athletic Council is the Athletic Director, Superintendent of Schools, two School Committee members appointed by the Vice Chair of the School Committee, the Gardner High School principal, the Gardner Middle School principal, two Gardner High School students (one male and one female) elected by the high school students, six coaches (elected by the coaches), and two alumni of Gardner High School (appointed by the Athletic Director). Care shall be taken in the selection of the members of the Athletic Council so that no conflict of interest exists.

The athletic council will meet three times per school year, once after each sports season (fall, winter, and spring) has ended. The Council will review and discuss the accomplishments of each team and will plan for the next year’s season. Please see Policy BDEE-R, Athletic Council Procedures, for details regarding other suggested topics of discussion.
