The school board reversed the decision to cut sports funding this morning. We have successfully secured the original budget for the upcoming year. I am shifting my focus to monitoring the implementation process to ensure these funds are allocated correctly.
We as a group of concerned Parents feel that if the sports programs are cut to the levels our leaders suggest , it will severely impair the student athletes to progress in life , as many studies have shown sports in the school system is a major part of the education process.
I have spent the last few days drafting a formal letter to the school board members to outline the specific impact these budget cuts will have on student development. We are currently finalizing our presentation materials to ensure our arguments are ready for the upcoming public comment session.

Without sports my daughter would have nothing to look forward to. Think about the mental health of these students for once.

Are you kidding me?? Kids need sports. It's the only reason some of them even show up to school.
