PROPOSAL FOR CHANGE IN NSAA REGULATIONS Proposal Generated by Clayton Heath, Lincoln Northeast, School Access Code, District 1 This proposal was submitted on: Oct 27, 2009 This proposal is submitted by: Name: Clayton Heath School: Lincoln Northeast NSAA District: 1 The proposal deals with: Activities Manual: All  Page: Varies The section/paragraph/sentence indicates what is to be added/deleted/changed to the current Bylaw/Approved Ruling: ADDITIONS are in all capital letters. (Changes/Deletions are in parentheses.) Pep Clubs (1. Pep club members MUST pay the regular admission price.) Bands & Artificial Noisemakers (1. Bands are permitted at the State Championship, but members MUST pay the regular admission.) UP TO 12 CHEERLEADERS, 12 DRILL TEAM MEMBERS, AND 50 BAND MEMBERS PER SCHOOL WOULD BE ADMITTED FREE OF CHARGE TO DISTRICT AND STATE COMPETITION. The section/paragraph/sentence that needs to be added/deleted/changed would read as follows: Up to 12 Cheerleaders, 12 Drill Team Members, and 50 Band Members per school would be admitted free of charge to district and state competition. Cost Analysis of Proposal: Loss of revenue to district hosts and NSAA. Savings to member schools activities budgets. Rationale for the proposed change: Cheerleaders, drill team, and band members are an integral part of our athletic events. They contribute to the overall atmosphere at a contest and help promote positive sportsmanship. Our activities are for our students and excluding or limiting these groups based upon costs of admission does not support our mission. Requiring them to pay admission is a hardship on school districts funds, athletic department funds, students, or parents.
