Iowa Admin. Code r. 281-37.3 - Mediation
(1)
The director of the department of education will establish a mediation team
consisting of the executive director of the Iowa high school athletic
association (hereinafter association) and the executive secretary of the Iowa
girls' high school athletic union (hereinafter union) organizations recognized
in 281-Chapter 36, or their designees, to meet with the complainant and
representatives of other affected member schools. If the complaint involves
conference alignment for athletic activities represented by only one of the
organizations, only that organization will be involved in the mediation. A copy
of all materials filed with the director by the complainant member school will
be provided to the mediation team.
(2) The mediation team will meet with
administrators or board members of schools potentially affected by changes in
conference alignment related to the complaint. Schools will send
representatives who have knowledge of the impact of a conference realignment
and full authority to respond on behalf of their member school. Factors to be
weighed in reaching resolution include school enrollment figures (current and
projected), travel distances, comparability of instructional programs,
traditional rivalries, number of existing and proposed schools in the
conference, and comparability of athletic programs and other school-sponsored
programs.
