Thanks for changes to athletic policy | Letter

I’d like to thank the parents, coaches, and community members of the Athletic Policy Review Committee for their recommended changes to the Orcas School District Athletic Handbook. They persevered for seven months through a sometimes adversarial process to the worthwhile goal of a more sensible policy.

I’d also like to thank the school board for adopting the long overdue changes and recognizing the importance of more equitable rules and consequences for student athletes.
