We expect this resolution to be applied to any coach the BSD determines to have violated this rule. These coaches shall be suspended from all aspects of Bellevue High School Football and their feeder programs. This includes but is not limited to clinics, speaking engagements, strength training, drills, coaching, contact with players or future players, recruiting, practices, practice plans, scouting, reviewing film and etc. These coaches would serve a two year suspension imposed by the KingCo League concurrently. 3.Booster Club: •For the 2016 through 2019 seasons (four years), the Bellevue HS Football Program may not receive any donations (including but not limited to money, services, equipment, products etc.) from any outside public or private entity. Bellevue HS Football will be limited to the funds provided to them by their district approved budgetary process. In the spring of 2018, the Bellevue Athletic Director may appeal to the KingCo League for these sanctions to be dropped. If the League determines that BHS has put in to place standards, procedures, and safe-guards for accepting funds from outside entities, including booster clubs, the League may reinstate the acceptance of these funds. 4.Transfer Students •All transfer athletes to Bellevue High School will submit a paper “residency packet” to the Bellevue AD which includes: oA completed WIAA residency contract. oA copy of a purchase/sales agreement or rental contract from a residence located within the Bellevu e HS service area.
