  • Budget process is being enhanced to outline specific revenues and expenditures for improved transparency.  We will show previous year’s budgeted and actual dollars along with current year’s approved budget.  Moving forward, we will maintain a 3-year trend on our annual budget report to help make planning easier for subsequent years.

    • Plan to proceed with the Burk vs IP online t-shirt sales as we did last year
    • Considering the custom shirt with name (minus #) on the back for online ordering as well.
  • Golf tournament- Per River Creek, we are unable to proceed currently.   We plan to cancel for this year and will revisit this opportunity next spring. 
  • Dog Squad- Coach Meng has no new information other than there will be no stipend for the Dog Squad sponsor.  It would be a volunteer position and must be a school district employee.   It is disappointing since this squad is important for managing Spike and touchdown flags on Friday nights.   We will revisit this issue as we get closer to the start of the season for options to support this critical group.

  • 6^th grade parent meeting is cancelled due to covid restrictions.   Middle school parent meeting will be incorporated into the high school parent meeting in August.  
  • Summer schedule for Booster meetings will include bi-weekly in June and weekly starting in July.  Due to existing restrictions, location will be determined on a case by case basis.  

• Open Discussion
  • Middle school parent participation is critical for Booster Club succession planning.  We need to work as a group to ensure the middle school parents understand that we welcome their participation and support. The Boosters annually allocate money raised for the football program to the middle school by purchasing equipment, gear and a team meal each season.  Messaging to parents should include clarification that the Booster Club supports the 7-12 grade football program, not just high school.  

• Coach’s report (Coach Meng)
  • Summer pride will start on June 8^th and will be modified due to UIL restrictions.

    • Groups will remain constant throughout summer pride with 2 coaches per group to limit exposure. 
    • All UIL precautions/rules/expectations will be followed throughout the summer. 
    • If a student misses his allotted practice time, he will be unable to move to an alternate group.   They must stay with their original assignment throughout the summer to limit contact and exposure.  
  • There will be no 7 on 7 this year.  It has been cancelled.
  • Football season modifications have yet to be determined.  This is a constantly evolving situation.   More to come as it becomes available.
