The justification for this proposal is as follows: Academic Rigor. The SMUHSD adopted an Academic Core program designed to have students meet more Cal State/UC requirements by the end of the students’10h grade year. This highly challenging “academic core” track is unique to most other schools in the Peninsula Athletic League. Eligibility Standards The SMUHSD has adopted a policy that requires a student taking 7 classes to pass 6 of those classes. The State requirement is 4 classes and every other school district in the Peninsula Athletic League uses the 4 class threshold. The schools of the San Mateo Union High School District requires 50% more classes to be passed than the other schools in our league. Start Times. Two years ago the schools of the SMUHSD proposed to the other PAL school to move start times for contests later than the day so students would miss less class time. Menlo School was the only school that agreed to the later starts times. The other schools did not see it as a priority. District Rivalries. There are several teams n our school district who no longer play one another as they are placed in separate divisions of strength. This has effects on the budget, school spirit, tradition, and travel. Two of our schools, Mills and Capuchino were recently voted by the Athletic Directors of the PAL to be moved to the Northern part of the PAL in basketball. Since we are geographically in the middle of the league this move was logical but severely hurts Mills and Capuchino. Scope of Programs. The sports offered by the schools of the SMUHSD are almost exactly the same. There are only a couple of sports that schools in our league would need supplemental status in. How does this impact other schools in P.A.L? There is a possibility that Menlo School and Sacred Heart Prep will propose to join the 4 Sequoia District schools to make a 6 team league. With a SMUHSD league of 6 the Northern schools could go back to having their own league and Half Moon Bay could rejoin that league. Would the SMUHSD have to find and hire its own commissioner? No. The P.A.L. Commissioner could run more than one league in the Northern Conference. Could the teams from the SMUHSD still go to the CCS playoffs? Yes. A 6 team league in considered a league. -.4RSWYiI O і   % * Š  Ž " # . 2  Œ  Ž ™ › Ÿ Є Ќ ­ З И Й К Ь UЈЉЊЛjklmќјќєќ№ќьќшќршмшќшдќмЬШмшШшШшЬУМмМУмУмшДмАЈЃ›—“‹†є hЊ ž5hЊ žhœN5hV?h’пh’пh’п5 hœN5hœNhЮx5hœNhœNh˜+$5 h˜+$h˜+$ h˜+$5h wЛh˜+$h˜+$5h7нh7нH*h˜+$hЮxhЮx5hЮxhŸ hр8}hЊ žhY h7н1.Sjz{ѕ і  Ž И Й ЉЊklmšЎЏьC§§§§§§§ѕ№шуѕ№ѕоѕбЬЬЬЬЬЬgdЊ ž &dPЦџgdЊ žgdœNgdЮx & Fgd wЛgd˜+$ & Fgd˜+$А§mq‘šЎЏь№DY]cdelqux‚ƒАїђїюътлътжтжтжтжтжтжл hJo+5 hJo+hJo+hJo+hJo+5hJo+hЊ ž hЊ ž5hЊ žhЊ ž5CDƒАњњњgdЊ ž,1hАа/ Ар=!А"А# $ %ААаАа а†œ@@ёџ@ NormalCJ_HaJmH sH tH DAђџЁD Default Paragraph FontRiѓџГR  Table Normalі4ж l4жaі (kєџС(No ListА џџџџ.Sjz{ѕі  ŽИЙЉЊklmšЎ Џ ь C D ƒ В ˜0€€˜0€€˜0€€˜0€€˜0€€˜0€€˜0€€˜ 0€€˜0€€˜ 0€€˜0€€˜ 0€€˜0€€˜ 0€€˜0€€˜ 0€€˜0€€˜0€€˜0€€˜0€€˜0€€˜0€€˜0€€˜0€€˜0€€˜0€€mА CА А џџ+Nj”`",NjЌО-NjєТ".NjМIЫ/NjTJЫ0NjŒЪ"1Nj$Ы"2NjфЫ"3NjNjЌѓТ?NjьѓТ@@GЗСЧЬнхœœІЌБ@@FККРВ      FRRРЦЫлуяЅЋАРРELLПЦЦВ     9*€urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:smarttags€place€=*€urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:smarttags €PlaceName€=*€urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:smarttags €PlaceType€B*€urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:smarttags€country-region€8 *€urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:smarttags€City€ HЈВ eiёњqvЕОžЇВ Sjќџ] j В 33SjВ eiВ H)уF#шŸџџџџџџџџџ„а„˜ўЦа^„а`„˜ўo(.€ „ „˜ўЦ ^„ `„˜ў‡hˆH.‚ „p„LџЦp^„p`„Lџ‡hˆH.€ „@ „˜ўЦ@ ^„@ `„˜ў‡hˆH.€ „„˜ўЦ^„`„˜ў‡hˆH.‚ „р„LџЦр^„р`„Lџ‡hˆH.€ „А„˜ўЦА^„А`„˜ў‡hˆH.€ „€„˜ўЦ€^„€`„˜ў‡hˆH.‚ „P„LџЦP^„P`„Lџ‡hˆH.H)уFџџџџџџџџ         хV?Ÿ œNY ˜+$Jo+raЈ[tч_uЮxр8}Њ ž wЛ7н’пџ@€iiд,]iiА @@џџUnknownџџџџџџџџџџџџG‡z €џTimes New Roman5€Symbol3& ‡z €џArial"qˆ№аh&Ьf™ЃбF}˜ ˜ !№ ДД24Ћ Ћ  @№HX(№џ?фџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџ7н2џџteacherteacher ўџр…ŸђљOhЋ‘+'Гй0TˆœЈИФд ф№   (4<DLфteacherNormalteacher6Microsoft Office Word@.Yv@‡UЩ@FsюM{Щ˜ ўџеЭеœ.“—+,љЎ0ш hp|„Œ” œЄЌД М ЩфЋ '  Title ўџџџўџџџ !ўџџџ#$%&'()ўџџџ+,-./01ўџџџ§џџџ4ўџџџўџџџўџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџRoot Entryџџџџџџџџ РF`тќN{Щ6€Data џџџџџџџџџџџџ1TableџџџџiWordDocumentџџџџ.SummaryInformation(џџџџџџџџџџџџ"DocumentSummaryInformation8џџџџџџџџ*CompObjџџџџџџџџџџџџqџџџџџџџџџџџџўџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџўџ џџџџ РFMicrosoft Office Word Document MSWordDocWord.Document.8є9Вq
