Stipend for advisors?

[wheeler]

Currently the advisors for team 1002 are unpaid except travel. We are working with our school board now to change this so that there would be a paid head coach and two assistants just as the provide for other large participation sport teams. We were asked to submit hours spent to find a similiar coaching base. The head advisor hours equal about 1100 which equals 27.5 school weeks. No coach has that many hour requirements so the newest discussion is to make it like the band director and assistants because they are paid as a year round stipend due to band camps, marching, and concert bands. If this happens in our county that will result in a ~$7000 stipend for head and ~$3000 for assistants.
