Athletics Staff Loyalty and Conflict Resolution Plan
Athletics Staff Loyalty and Conflict Resolution Plan
Staff Loyalty Protocol Summary
Loyalty is crucial among coaching staff members in our program. Disloyalty, bickering, or jealousy hinder our goal of developing individuals effectively.
Resolution Process
• Address concerns or misunderstandings privately.
• If unresolved, involve the head coach.
• If the agreement remains elusive, contact the Campus Athletic Coordinator.
• Involving multiple sports or coaches? Seek Campus Athletic Coordinator intervention.
Further Steps
• Unresolved issues should be discussed with the Athletic Campus Coordinators and, if needed, the Athletic Director.
• Coaches must not take complaints outside the department.
• If problems persist, a meeting with the building principal, Athletic Director, and concerned parties is organized.
• Conferences with the assistant superintendent and superintendent are the final resort.
Advanced Intervention
• Issues involving the Campus Athletic Coordinator should engage the Campus Principal and/or LCISD Athletic Office.
• Additional administration members may join discussions as per the request of Campus Principal, Assistant Athletic Director, or Athletic Director.
Confidentiality
• Discussions about athletic department concerns should remain within the designated circles and should not involve other faculty members or the community.
This structured approach ensures conflict resolution remains within appropriate channels, fostering a supportive and professional coaching environment.
