The BRLD Co-Op Committee will consist of the administrative teams and three board members each from the Bancroft-Rosalie school district and the Lyons-Decatur school district.  This committee has no voting power but is a communication tool for the Co-Op.  The committee will meet a minimum of three times a year, once during the summer, in between volleyball and basketball, and in between basketball and track/golf.  Periodically, a need may arise to meet to discuss immediate concerns.  Both districts will, in good faith, honor the other district’s request in a timely manner.  At these times, discussion about the Co-Op will take place.  Also, recommendations for any changes to the Coach’s Handbook can be made at this time.  It is the expectation that committees operate in good faith and use professional judgment.  If a committee member has an issue with a coach or is operating in bad faith, said member would be required/expected to recuse himself or herself prior to the discussion of the issue at hand.
