Court or to anyone at the event. What is supposed to happen . And whos in charge . Well according to the executive director of the Iowa High School athletic association, there are guidelines and policies in place that govern such a scenario. Alan beste says its up to the School Administrators of both teams to take action. Theyre the ones who are probably visiting amongst themselves to determine whats going to happen and the policy, which is called conduct counts that addresses chanting and cheering directed at opponents. 02 05 there are several different ways that they can handle it. They can simply give an informal warning to the students or the spectators and say this is inappropriate, stop. Or, they can give a formal warning and say if it continues were going to eject you and then if it gets to tha point where the fans are being belligerent, then there is a possibility of those fans being ejected from the contest. Dallas Center Grimes activities director steve watson was at the top of dcgs student section when he heard the chants. Stairs, i heard the chant, it was probably chanted three, four, five times at the most and as soon as our kids saw that i was there, they knew it was wrong and they stopped it. 04 40 im not even sure i had to say anything. I think it was just my presence, that they knew i was there. We also had two other administrators there too. watson considers anything thats not a positive cheer inappropriate. 07 03 its inappropriate i mean you know but kids are creative and you never know what theyre gonna do next. So when something is inappropriate you have to squelch it at the time and you deal with it later. 07 24 in this case the game was over its pretty hard to throw anybody out watson does not think his School District should be defined by this incident. 08 28 it cast a bad light on our school. , but you know what were still a good school and we have good kids here and you know well educate our kids and move on. watson says it was not a large group of students who were chanting. He estimates that it was about 1015 percent of the kids that were there at grimes students and adult spectators have above average sportsmanship ratings. And that he and perrys athletic administrator are good friends, we have been for years and will continue to be.

School districts across the state are finding governor branstads mandatory School Start Date is affecting more than just the beginning of the school year. Channel 13s Justin Surrency explains why its changing study habits for students. For years the Ames CommunitySchool District had to hold first semester finals after winter break. iowa state is a large presence and a lot of our families are associated with the university. So we must align our schedule as much as we can. finally it was straightened out. two years ago we were able to arrange a calendar to start the year early enough and end for the first time, the first semester before winter break. students and parents rejoiced as far as my children are concerned they would rather have their finals before break. Then they get a proper break. but with the stroke of a pen last legislative session Governor Terry branstad changed all of that then things changed. the governor enforced a new mandatory start date no earlier than august 23rd directly after the iowa state fair. sorry but we tried. it also took away a School Districts option to receive a voucher application for an early start date causing many in urban School Districts to question the decision. i wish that the governor had left control with the local School Districts. The rural districts they do have participation in the state fair but those are concerns we just dont have. On monday the ames School District reluctantly approved calendars for the next two school years, forcing students back to taking finals after winter break. it does give students time to the positive there. opponents arent saying its a bad deal for everyone, educators just wish the governor could have been listened a little closer. listen and think about the things local districts are the job they are trying to do in their community and their family and students.
