The Old Rochester Regional School Committee has conditionally approved Co-ed Swimming as a varsity sport offering of the athletic department beginning in the winter season of the 2012-2013 school year. This occurred on Wednesday, June 13, 2012. This provides an exciting new athletic opportunity for our student body.
The approval of swimming as a varsity sport was made consistent with the existing ORR school district policy for new sports. Total funding for this sport must come from sources external to the school district’s budget for the first two years. Future years have the district assuming gradual financial responsibility for the sport, if the school’s finances are sufficient to assume it. The conditional approval requires supporters of this new sport offering to secure the necessary external funding for the first season, and deliver it to the district, prior to October 1, 2012.
Involvement of interested parents, students and community members is essential to the success of this sport. If you are interested in being involved, please e-mail contact information to: orrbulldogswimming@gmail.com
