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 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.

The Superintendent shall annually evaluate all employees holding paid extra-curricular duties.

The evaluation concepts and procedures shall be consistent with the adopted Staff Evaluation and Development Program and shall include but not be limited to (1) a written appraisal instrument and conference, (2) an opportunity for rebuttal and appeal, and (3) accessibility to the appraisal file. Input from extra-curricular staff shall be used in developing the instrument.

Personnel must complete a DMA form with no positive indications that material assistance has been provided to a terrorist organization before working in the District (see Policy 8120).

Personnel also must 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.
