Discussion Item: Athletics and Activities Report
Speaker(s):
Director of Facilities - Dr. Troy Urdahl
Description:
Included for the school board’s review is the 2021-22 athletics and activities participation report. COVID had complicated data, collecting information in general - and most significantly student connectedness. The 21-22 school year saw a dramatic participation increase from 20-21 with the highest duplicated sports participation rate on record - at SAVHS and SAMS. The overall participation rate at SAVHS was 69% with 32 student-athletes playing three sports and 114 students were in two or more activities! Gender participation in sports is near equal in duplicated and unduplicated counts and diverse representation in programs is near proportionate to our student populations. In general, those who are more involved had higher grades and better attendance than those who were less connected to our programs.
