In other business, Commissioner Keating was approached by a
parent in regards to the Jr.High Basketball and WBDA group. There some confusion on who sponsors these
groups. Because of the change in the
boys program, then the Middle School, the WBDA sponsors this group and the city
sponsors the girls. The WBDA board is
currently working on a handbook to spell out policies, etc. In the future, the WBDA will handle all the
groups to help clarify any confusion or concerns.
