November 2024 Special Board Meeting Agenda: https://5il.co/317bz
Good Afternoon,
I am writing to inform you that, due to low participation numbers in high school girls’ basketball, West Harrison will begin sharing the girls’ basketball program with Missouri Valley starting next week and continuing for the remainder of the 2024-2025 basketball season.
Earlier this week, concerns regarding overall athletic participation were discussed at the school board meeting, particularly the potential challenges that high school girls’ basketball may face in completing a season due to low participation. In response, the board requested that I investigate this matter further, gather input from the girls and coaches, and explore possible sharing opportunities.
Yesterday, I spoke with the girls who are planning to participate in high school basketball. They expressed a strong desire to share the program with another district to ensure they can play a complete basketball season this year. Following this discussion, I reached out to Missouri Valley, and we established a mutual interest in sharing the high school girls' basketball program. West Harrison players and coaches will begin practicing with Missouri Valley on Monday.
On Monday, both the West Harrison and Missouri Valley school boards will meet to approve the sharing of the 9-12 girls’ basketball program for the 2024-2025 season. The West Harrison Board will convene at 4:00 PM on Monday.
Thank you for your support as we work to provide our students with a fulfilling athletic experience.
Have a great weekend!
Marty Fonley
West Harrison Superintendent
