The Board of Education may employ professional staff for co-curricular/extra-curricular activities. However, the Board may find it necessary to employ, on a part-time basis, coaches or activity sponsors who are not members of the professional staff. Such part-time employees may be members of the District's classified/support staff or individuals from the community or nearby areas.

The Board authorizes the Superintendent to recommend candidates for employment by the Board.

Each coach or activity sponsor shall hold a valid Pupil Activity Program Permit issued by the State Board of Education under R.C. 3319.303(A), have any other necessary qualifications, have been properly interviewed, and shall sign an employment contract which includes the conditions of employment, compensation arrangements, and contract termination procedures.

Personnel must also pass a background check performed by the Bureau of Criminal Identification and Investigation (see Policy 3121).

The Board may renew the contract of any nonlicensed individual, currently employed by the Board for one or more years, without first offering the position held by that individual to employees of the District who are licensed individuals or advertising the position as available to any qualified licensed individuals who are not currently employed by the Board unless otherwise prohibited by a collective bargaining agreement.
