CISD okays girls softball 

By Roger Estlack, Clarendon Enterprise

The Clarendon School Board met in regular session October 17.

A bid to replace the doors on the Old Gym was accepted from a Childress firm in the amount of $11,378.

The board approved a motion to add girls softball as a UIL extracurricular sport. Athletic Director Roger Hoeltzel presented cost factors, and Coach Kathy Barton presented results of a survey to assess the level of interest in adding the sport.

Time management, conflicts with other sports, and transportation issues were discussed. Stan Shelton offered the support of the Little League.

Coach Keila Cruce reported on tennis issues. She was concerned about the conditions of the courts and said a lot of the work can be done by personnel and students.

The board expressed appreciation to the coaches for their efforts and also for their eagerness in getting softball started for the girls of CISD.

CHS Principal Larry Jeffers gave a report on Parental Consent Requirements. He is mailing a waiver out that parents can sign allowing their children to leave the campus. A policy will have to be adopted by January 1, 2001, and will go out with registration packets at the beginning of the next school year.

Hysinger reported on school alteration and cancellation procedures for bad weather. He also discussed spending Activity Fund Miscellaneous money on trophy cases and a grill/vent for the Bronco Gym.
