AL: AHSAA shows how it can be done
Last year, the AHSAA dished out more than $1.2 million to member schools, doubled the payouts to teams in most post-season events -- tripled some -- and waived its dues for all schools for the 18th straight year.

MN: Stillwater, Schools budget cut $2M

09-Jan-2012  Stillwater.Patch.com

The cost of spring sports is going up as part of the budget adjustment plan approved last week by the Stillwater Area School Board.

High school athletes will pay between $15 to $60 more than last year to participate in a spring sport.

The new fee structure is modeled after structures in place at schools across the metro area, according to District 834 officials. The charges for sports are based on the cost to participate, such as equipment and transportation.

In addition to increasing fees for athletics, the Board also cut supply budgets for school buildings and departments, delayed the purchase of new textbooks and curriculum for social studies, postponed technology purchases and reduced staff-training opportunities this spring.

Some items being considered include:

  • Decreasing the number of days students would be in school
  • Cutting all junior high sports and activities
  • Reducing activities (sports, fine arts, clubs) at the high school
  • Cutting back on transportation services
  • Charging for all day kindergarten
  • Reducing supplies for teachers and students
  • Closing a swimming pool
  • Increasing fees for activities, parking and Community Education classes
  • Cutting staff (thereby decreasing services and increasing class sizes)
