Coaching

I particularly enjoyed the conversations involving coaching. I have coached for 7 years and have never been evaluated. The evaluation of coaches has not even been a topic of conversation in my district. Also, the percentage pay was unfamiliar to me. Our Jr. High head coaches (volleyball, girls/boys basketball, girls/boys track) are paid $1540. That was the “magic number” 7 years ago when I started and it is still the “magic number” today.

I agree, the coaching aspect is interesting. I know that raising the pay for certain positions may fill it but is that necessarily what you would want as an administrator. I would think as a service to the student athletes you would want a coach that is coaching for the students and their interest in the sport not the money. The challenge is finding those people, but it doesn't hurt to put a little extra work in to find the right person.
