At the Texas Academic Decathlon board of directors’ meeting some important changes were made regarding TAD competition.
Please make note – The date for the region competition in 2013, has been moved to January 25-26, because of the Martin Luther King, Jr. three-day holiday weekend, January 18-19. The new competition date will fall on the SAT testing weekend, so be sure you check with students on your team to make sure they won’t back out on you at the last minute.
In 2013, the coach of the year nominees will be posted on the website for a week and the coaches will have an opportunity to vote on the nominees. The board felt that coaches know each other better than they do when voting on an outstanding coach of the year.
Because of poor health, the 2013 Large School State Host found it necessary to resign and the large school state meet site has been moved from Lubbock to El Paso/Ysleta ISDs. Lubbock will host the large school state meet in 2017.
