DescriptionGrantsExpenses
COAST FORENSIC LEAGUE (CFL) ORGANIZES SPEECH AND DEBATE TOURNAMENTS FOR HIGH SCHOOL STUDENTS. THIS IS SPELLED OUT IN ARTICLE II SECTION B OF ITS ARTICLES OF INCORPORATION, WHICH STATES THAT "COAST FORENSIC LEAGUE SHALL PROMOTE THE BEST INTEREST OF THE HIGH SCHOOLS WITHIN ITS BOUNDARIES, THE TEACHING PROFESSION, AND THE PARTICIPANT STUDENTS BY PROVIDING INTERSCHOLASTIC SPEECH AND DEBATE TOURNAMENTS." CFL SERVES HIGH SCHOOLS IN SAN MATEO, MONTEREY, SAN BENITO, SANTA CLARA, AND SANTA CRUZ COUNTIES. NOT TO BE CONFUSED WITH FORENSICS USED IN CRIMINAL INVESTIGATIONS, THE TERM 'FORENSIC' IN THE NAME OF THIS ORGANIZATION REFERS TO SPEECH AND DEBATE, FOLLOWING THE TERMINOLOGY OF NATIONAL FORENSIC LEAGUE, WHICH IS CURRENTLY DOING BUSINESS AS NATIONAL SPEECH AND DEBATE ASSOCIATION.IN THE 2016-2017 ACADEMIC YEAR, CFL ORGANIZED 20 SPEECH AND DEBATE TOURNAMENTS. TOURNAMENTS ARE NORMALLY HELD ON WEEKENDS FROM 8AM TO 6PM, SOMETIMES LASTING BOTH SATURDAY AND SUNDAY. THE TOURNAMENT SEASON RUNS FROM SEPTEMBER TO MARCH. TOURNAMENTS ARE NORMALLY HELD ON HIGH SCHOOL CAMPUSES. A STANDARD TOURNAMENT SERVES ABOUT 200 STUDENTS. IN TOTAL, CFL SERVES ABOUT 2500 STUDENTS EACH YEAR. THE TOURNAMENTS ARE RUN BY LEAGUE OFFICERS (LISTED IN PART V OF THE 1023 FORM), SPECIFICALLY THE LEAGUE PRESIDENT AND THE VICE PRESIDENTS OF VARIOUS EVENTS. THE OFFICERS ARE ELECTED ANNUALLY BY THE MEMBERS. THE OFFICERS ARE VOLUNTEERS AND DO NOT RECEIVE ANY COMPENSATION FOR THEIR WORK. THE DUTIES OF THE OFFICERS ARE LISTED IN THE BYLAWS. ORGANIZING TOURNAMENTS TAKES OVER 90% OF THE TIME CFL OFFICERS SPEND VOLUNTEERING FOR THE LEAGUE.SPEECH AND DEBATE IS AN EDUCATIONAL ACTIVITY DESIGNED TO TEACH STUDENTS SKILLS THAT INCLUDE PUBLIC SPEAKING AND SUPPORTING ARGUMENTS WITH LOGIC AND EVIDENCE. IN DEBATE EVENTS, A STUDENT IS ASSIGNED A TOPIC ROOTED IN SUBJECTS SUCH AS ECONOMICS, PHILOSOPHY, SCIENCE, OR INTERNATIONAL RELATIONS AND IS ASKED TO DEFEND ONE SIDE OF THAT TOPIC AGAINST THE STUDENT WHO IS ASSIGNED THE OPPOSITE SIDE. IN PLATFORM SPEECH EVENTS, A STUDENT PREPARES AN ORIGINAL SPEECH ON A SOCIETAL PROBLEM OF THEIR CHOICE AND PROPOSES THEIR SOLUTION TO THE PROBLEM. IN EXTEMPORANEOUS SPEECH EVENTS, A STUDENT IS ASSIGNED A DOMESTIC OR FOREIGN POLICY ISSUE, AND, AFTER 30 MINUTES OF PREPARATION AND RESEARCH, DELIVERS A SPEECH ANALYZING THE ISSUE. IN ALL SPEECH AND DEBATE EVENTS, STUDENTS ARE THEN EVALUATED BY JUDGES BASED ON HOW PERSUASIVE, LOGICAL, AND EVIDENCE-BASED THEIR SPEECHES WERE. THE SKILLS DEVELOPED BY STUDENTS DUE TO SPEECH AND DEBATE IMPROVE THEIR PERFORMANCE IN THE CLASSROOM. A REGIS UNIVERSITY 2009 STUDY "AN INVESTIGATION INTO THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN PARTICIPATION IN COMPETITIVE FORENSICS AND STANDARDIZED TEST SCORES" "EXAMINED THE STATE AND NATIONAL TEST SCORES OF SIMILARLY MOTIVATED HONORS ENGLISH STUDENTS IN A SINGLE HIGH SCHOOL, OVER THE COURSE OF 4 YEARS, AND COMPARED THE SCORES OF FORENSIC STUDENTS AGAINST THE SCORES OF NON-FORENSIC STUDENTS. IT WAS FOUND THAT STUDENTS WITH EXPERIENCE IN COMPETITIVE SPEECH SCORED SIGNIFICANTLY HIGHER ON STATE ADMINISTERED WRITING TESTS AND SIGNIFICANTLY HIGHER (0.07) ON A NATIONALLY NORMED READING TEST. ADDITIONALLY, THIS STUDY REVEALED NO SIGNIFICANT DIFFERENCE IN TEST SCORES BETWEEN STUDENTS WHO COMPETED IN THE DEBATE EVENTS VS. THOSE STUDENTS WHO COMPETED IN THE NON-DEBATE EVENTS." (IN THIS CONTEXT, THE WORD 'FORENSIC' IS USED AS A SYNONYM FOR SPEECH AND DEBATE TOURNAMENTS, AND 'NON-DEBATE EVENTS' REFERS TO SPEECH). ACCORDING TO "IMPACT OF PARTICIPATING IN A POLICY DEBATE PROGRAM ON ACADEMIC ACHIEVEMENT: EVIDENCE FROM THE CHICAGO URBAN DEBATE LEAGUE," A 2011 STUDY PUBLISHED INEDUCATIONAL RESEARCH AND REVIEWS, A PEER REVIEWED JOURNAL, "DEBATERS WERE MORE LIKELY TO GRADUATE, MORE LIKELY TO MEET ACT COLLEGE-READINESS BENCHMARKS, AND HAD GREATER GAINS IN CUMULATIVE GRADE POINT AVERAGE (GPA) OVER THE COURSE OF HIGH SCHOOL RELATIVE TO COMPARABLE PEERS. THIS IS THE LARGEST EVALUATION STUDY OF A DEBATE PROGRAM ON ACHIEVEMENT, AND THESE FINDINGS SUGGEST THAT DEBATE PROGRAMS MAY OFFER A MEANS TO EXTEND LEARNING TIME AND PROMOTE ENGAGEMENT WITH SCHOLASTIC MATERIALS IN A MANNER THAT TRANSLATES INTO ACADEMIC PERFORMANCE." IN 1999, THE COMMUNICATION EDUCATION JOURNAL PUBLISHED "A META-ANALYSIS OF THE IMPACT OF FORENSICS AND COMMUNICATION EDUCATION ON CRITICAL THINKING" - REVIEW OF 20 OTHER ACADEMIC STUDIES. THIS META-ANALYSIS FOUND THAT OF ALL FORMS OF COMMUNICATION INSTRUCTION, "FORENSIC PARTICIPATION DEMONSTRATED THE LARGEST POSITIVE IMPACT ON CRITICAL THINKING IMPROVEMENT."STUDENTS INVOLVED IN SPEECH AND DEBATE QUICKLY RUN OUT OF STUDENTS TO COMPETE AGAINST AT THEIR OWN HIGH SCHOOL. SPEECH AND DEBATE TOURNAMENTS PROVIDE STUDENTS WITH THE OPPORTUNITY TO COMPETE AGAINST STUDENTS FROM OTHER HIGH SCHOOLS AND THUS TO BE EXPOSED TO NEW STYLES OF SPEAKING AND ARGUMENTATION. STUDENTS AT SPEECH AND DEBATE TOURNAMENTS PERFORM IN FRONT OF JUDGES FROM OTHER HIGH SCHOOLS, THUS RECEIVING FEEDBACK FROM A DIVERSE GROUP OF ADULTS. THE JUDGING POOL AT TOURNAMENTS CONSISTS OF SCHOOL TEACHERS, SPEECH AND DEBATE COACHES, PARENT VOLUNTEERS, AND OTHER MEMBERS OF THE COMMUNITY. JUDGES ARE INSTRUCTED AT THE START OF EACH TOURNAMENT TO REMAIN IMPARTIAL AND SET ASIDE THEIR BIASES REGARDING THE SPECIFIC TOPICS THE STUDENTS SPEAK ABOUT. JUDGES RANK STUDENTS BASED ON THEIR PERFORMANCE AND PROVIDE WRITTEN FEEDBACK TO STUDENTS AT THE END OF EACH TOURNAMENT ROUND.EACH ACADEMIC YEAR, CFL ORGANIZES AND FUNDS THE SPEECH AND DEBATE DEMO DAY. DEMO DAY ATTENDANCE IS FREE FOR ALL STUDENTS, PARENTS, TEACHERS, COACHES, AND COMMUNITY MEMBERS INTERESTED IN SPEECH AND DEBATE. THE DEMO DAY FEATURES VARSITY SPEECH AND DEBATE COMPETITORS PUTTING ON DEMONSTRATION DEBATES AND SPEECHES IN ALL EVENTS OFFERED BY CFL. THE DEMO DAY IS USEFUL FOR ADVERTISING SPEECH AND DEBATE TO INCOMING HIGH SCHOOL STUDENTS, FOR TRAINING PARENT VOLUNTEERS ON HOW TO JUDGE SPEECH AND DEBATE ROUNDS, AND FOR PROVIDING AN EXHIBITION OF SPEECH AND DEBATE TO SCHOOLS THAT DO NOT YET HAVE A SPEECH AND DEBATE PROGRAM BUT ARE INTERESTED IN STARTING ONE.CFL SEEKS TO ENSURE THAT ITS TOURNAMENTS ARE AFFORDABLE TO ALL STUDENTS. THE STANDARD ENTRY FEE AT A CFL TOURNAMENT IS $10 PER STUDENT. THESE ENTRY FEES PROVIDE THE BULK OF THE REVENUE CFL USES TO CARRY ON ITS ACTIVITIES (SEE PART IX OF FORM 1023). BECAUSE THESE ENTRY FEES ARE VOTED ON BY THE SAME MEMBER SCHOOLS WHO THEN PAY THEM WHEN THEY REGISTER FOR TOURNAMENTS, THERE IS NO INCENTIVE TO RAISE THE ENTRY FEES ANY HIGHER THAN IS NECESSARY TO COVER THE COSTS OF RENTING TOURNAMENT FACILITIES AND COVERING OTHER TOURNAMENT COSTS. FOR COMPARISON, SPEECH AND DEBATE TOURNAMENTS OUTSIDE OF CFL THAT ARE RUN WITH THE INCENTIVE OF GENERATING PROFIT F OR THE TOURNAMENT ORGANIZERS OFTEN HAVE ENTRY FEES IN EXCESS OF $100 PER STUDENT. IN ADDITION, ARTICLE II SECTION B OF THE CFL ARTICLES OF INCORPORATION STATES THAT CFL SHALL HAVE "A PARTICULAR FOCUS ON SUPPORTING HIGH SCHOOLS AND STUDENTS WHO ARE SOCIOECONOMICALLY DISADVANTAGED." THE SPECIFIC MECHANISM FOR THIS FOCUS IS OUTLINED IN THE BYLAWS, WHICH STATES THAT THE "BOARD SHALL SPEND UP TO $5,000 PER YEAR ON SUPPORTING MEMBER SCHOOLS THAT HAVE SPEECH AND DEBATE PROGRAMS WITH A HIGH PROPORTION OF SOCIOECONOMICALLY DISADVANTAGED STUDENTS AND THAT "THIS SUPPORT SHALL INCLUDE WAIVING CFL MEMBERSHIP DUES AND TOURNAMENT ENTRY FEES FOR ANY MEMBER SCHOOL THAT REQUESTS THIS IN WRITING AND HAS A SPEECH AND DEBATE PROGRAM THAT HAS A HIGH PROPORTION OF SOCIOECONOMICALLY DISADVANTAGED STUDENTS."$0$64,235
