Last week I wrote this story on Senate Bill 6383.
The bill seeks “to impose penalties for rules violations upon coaches, school district administrators, school administrators, and students, as appropriate, to punish the offending party or parties.”
It also aims to make punishment proportional to the committed offense so that student athletes don’t suffer from violations committed by adults.
Here’s video of the public hearing on the bill. Sen. Don Benton and WIAA executive director Mike Colbrese testified — so did a citizen, but he spoke on a totally unrelated matter — on Thursday Jan. 26.
You can find the bill, bill report and bill digest here.
A state bill, for this … we need a law, for this! The WIAA needs to get a grip and a handle on the districts! But, an actual State Law? C’mon Man!
The legislators need to resolve the hugh challenges within the State of Washington! The legislators can start with EDUCATION and EMPLOYMENT! Then start charging and collecting taxes from the wealthiest 10% and the companies that don’t pay any State Taxes!
