Addressing Concussions In Student Athletes • We have purchased the ImPact Test Software and contracted with Dr. Neil McGrath www.sportsconcussion.net • Baseline testing to begin on student athletes during the winter preseason • Each student athlete will be baseline tested using the ImPact Software by September of 2010

  5. Value to Mission The Interscholastic Athletic Program plays a very special role in the our athletes’ lives. Sports allow these individuals to develop integrated personalities, which demonstrate consistency in thinking and actions, irrespective of the tenseness of the situation. Competitive sports offer rich opportunities for the development of the unified personality as the individual has numerous opportunities to lead and follow, to give and to take, to submerge self for the good of the common cause, to win, to lose, and to take the consequences of his or her own actions and those of the group. In addition, the individual, in effect, acquires another means of communication through which each is enabled to give expression to his/her particular personality.

  6. Delivery Model

  7. Athletics’ Budget ATHLETIC REVOLVING ACCOUNT

  8. Transportation • Salter Transportation has been very good to work with • Budget will be increased as previously only the cost of drivers’ salaries were charged • Savings from gas, maintenance, insurance, ect. will offset the cost

  9. Fees Comparison

  10. Challenges • Field and facilities constraints during building project • Rising fixed costs (Transportation & Officials) • Maintaining quality programs in the face of difficult budgetary times

  11. Plan for Moving Forward • Integrate new facilities from building project into existing program • Retain the successful recipe of offerings, low fees, participation, and competitive success • Add a Cross Country Coach • Expand coaches’ education, including CPR, First Aid and AED certifications. • Implement Impact Concussion Testing • Implement a Captains’ Council
