From what I can gather, not much to be honest, is that you really have to push in order to get a listing of the minutes. Since you have some pull, are you able to get those for us?
The National Board, through spam, said they probably won't respond due to volume (then why give the e-mail address?) and KSHSAA only prints the rule changes, not the minutes.
I think it's important for us to know where we stand in relation to others states. As Vikes has pointed out, it's a pain, but one that is easily done.
Mr. Gibson:
I am curious as to your change of position regarding rules and the need to follow them.
As you will recall, you were not in favor of the rules when a wrestler from your District was allowed to weigh-in late after weigh-ins were closed, at a USAW Kansas Kids qualifying tournament several years ago.
Does it really matter if Kansas is the only State to not have voting privileges with the NFHS?
I believe KSHSAA will make every effort to implement a weigh-in plan, with imput from member schools, which is best for Kansas high school athletes, and quite frankly, I, nor do I believe KSHSAA, are concerned which weigh-in procedure is more suitable for high school athletes in California or New York.
Lastly, I have difficulty with your statement regarding anonymous telephone calls from any school district BOE elected officials to you regarding your position with the school district. School boards meet in Executive Session to discuss personnel issues, and the context of these discussions are not open to the public.
Do you really expect anyone to believe an elected BOE member telephoned you anonymously and offered to reinstate your coaching/teaching position?
