GIRLS’ VARSITY SOCCER COOPERATIVE AGREEMENT-
On the Feb. 11 school board agenda, the board looked to approve a cooperative agreement with New Brighton for girls’ soccer, which led to concern from community members. Community member Sue Vogel said that there would be 19 soccer players, not including six possible freshmen, from Freedom alone. Of those, only 11 girls get the opportunity to play.

Superintendent Dr. Jeffrey Fuller expressed that New Brighton’s girls’ soccer team, which was a long-term rival according to Vogel, is to the point of either getting a cooperative agreement or disbanding the program entirely.
The board approved the New Brighton agreement with a five-four vote in favor of agreement. On Feb. 22, the New Brighton school board approved the agreement with a unanimous vote. Fuller said that up to six or seven players are expected to join the team. New Brighton will pay a fee of $250 per player to play for Freedom’s team.
