Parents, students and coaches, including Van Tech athletic director Mike Allina, attended several public hearings on the school budget for the 2014-15 school year.

Trustees on the 鶹ýӳSchool Board voted April 30 to protect the position of the district-wide athletic coordinator, who is responsible for organizing every public school league from bantam girls soccer to senior boys basketball as well as the annual elementary school cross-country meet and more.

Vision 鶹ýӳboard chair Patti Bacchus described it as a ‘Hail Mary budget” since it nearly drained the district’s contingency fund, leavind $530,000.

In response to my tweet at the VSB decision that coaches can sigh a deep breathe of relief, Hamber athletic director Indy Sehmbi replied: “Not just coaches. Students, parents, supporters and those who value the importance of healthy and active youth in our community.”
