Proposed changes to school athletic programs statewide – including shortening the winter sports season by a week – will be outlined Wednesday, Jan. 14, at the Westbrook School Committee meeting.

Todd Sampson, athletic director for Westbrook schools, will give the presentation.

The changes developed by the Interscholastic Management Committee are meant to help schools save money. The proposals include reducing the maximum number of countable competitions, limiting the number of noncountable games, and withdrawing Maine from the Council of New England Secondary School Principals’ Associations competitions.

The committee meeting begins at 7 p.m in Room 114 at Westbrook High School. The public will be allowed to comment.

Sampson will report back to the Interscholastic Management Committee, which will vote on the changes on Jan. 26.
