Under Continued Business, the agenda lists an “Athletics Proposal: Addition of hockey for hockey 2026-2027” presented by Athletic Director Cami Molinere. This indicates the district is considering launching an ice hockey program starting in the 2026–2027 school year, which will require planning for equipment, uniforms, ice time, transportation, and potentially coaching contracts. At the proposal stage, no vendors or specific purchases are named, so the scope of needs is still being defined.Athletics suppliers, facility partners (rinks), and transportation providers can position themselves to help the district budget and phase the launch, offering turnkey packages for gear, apparel, practice and game scheduling, and safety-compliant equipment tailored to a new high school hockey program.

As a new sport, the district may evaluate co-op options with nearby schools or local rinks, but none are specified in the agenda.
