Well sort of. This was only the proposal we still have two weeks for the board to look it over and decide, second reading will also be a public meeting. The $75 may or may not happen. Looks like they found $30,000 out of the stimulus money to fund all the spring sports.
Funny this is $30,000 out of a $67 million budget for spring sports that allows a couple hundred kids to play (remember 4 team at 3 schools) seem like such a small amount. IMHO they could have found close to that amount consolidating those 7th grade team into 8th grade teams. Parents speaking at meeting seemed to understand the need to make cuts but wanted board to make them FAIR and across the board rather than picking out one group of athletes.
Seems like the spring sports are safe but only time will tell. We will continue to watch and remind the board that we are watching!
