Compliance: It is the responsibility of the board of education to appoint only coaches who meet the requirements as outlined in the Regulations of the Commissioner of Education. The chief school officer has the responsibility to see to it that all coaches, once appointed by the board of education, complete the necessary courses, to determine that the coaches are keeping their first aid skill and knowledge current and are complying with the coaching course requirements. Checking applicants through the SED TEACH system prior to submitting their names for appointment to the Board of Education is highly recommended.

Record Keeping: Each school district must keep permanent records on persons who have been and are currently coaching in the district. It is recommended that the director of physical education and athletics maintain these records. Information on the current coaching staff should be listed in the School District Plan for Physical Education.
