Turcotte said athletics has a role in academics since some students stay in school because of sports.

Activities director Eric Peterson said building the Lil Wolves program again is a good start. “We have to improve. A lot of things we can discuss as a team,” Peterson said to the board.

Turcotte said coaches should desire to get better by attending clinics. He said the coaching situation has a negative impact in the community because it creates tension. He said it would be easier for trustees to tell residents that Wolf Point has good coaches if the coaches attend trainings.

As far as improving the high school’s track, Turcotte encouraged Peterson to help find donations for the $1- to $2-million project. Turcotte said trustees have connections to assist with the effort.
