3120.08 - EMPLOYMENT OF PERSONNEL FOR CO-CURRICULAR/EXTRA-CURRICULAR ACTIVITIES

The Board of Education may find it necessary to employ, on a part-time basis, coaches or activity sponsors who are not members of the professional staff. Such part-time employees:

1. maybe members of the District's support staff, or
2. maybe individuals from the community or nearby areas.

The Board authorizes the Superintendent to recommend candidates for employment by the Board.

The Superintendent shall establish administrative guidelines to ensure that each person employed as a coach or activity sponsor has the appropriate qualifications, has been properly interviewed, and signs an employment contract which includes the conditions of employment, compensation arrangements, and contract termination procedures.

Appropriate qualifications shall, at a minimum, include any requirements established by the State, and may also include any program specific training or certification as determined by the Superintendent. Starting with the 2025-2026 school year, an individual hired to serve at the high school as an athletic coach shall have a valid certification in cardiopulmonary resuscitation and use of an automated external defibrillator issued by the American Red Cross, American Heart Association, or a comparable organization or institution approved by the Michigan Department of Education.
