Dear His High Holiness,
Gee, I didn't know the Pope was interested in officiating. : )
Well, actually it differs from athletic section to athletic section or even by county.
Where I am, there are 4 assignors for say the schools covered by our board. Of these two are assignors or athletic coordinators that the member schools contract with to assign those games. Those athletic coordinators are employees of the BOCES (Board of Cooperative Educational Services) and that means they are definitely public employees paid with tax dollars.
Of the other two assigners, one is a private individual who supposedly does this out of the kindness of his heart. (yeah ok), and the other guy is paid as a private individual.
So there you have it.
Peace
