School Officials Discuss Future of Golf Program at Mountain Valley High School

Mountain Valley High School's golf program faces uncertainty as discussions about its future unfold. Student Maxwell Spitzer passionately expressed his desire to continue playing golf, highlighting the friendships and skills he developed since starting the sport in ninth grade. His heartfelt plea underscores the importance of the program to students.

The confusion surrounding the golf program stems from budgetary decisions made over a year ago. During a recent government meeting, Maynard Peasley raised questions about the potential end of the golf program, prompting a clarification from Greg Chad. He explained that while the budget had initially included funding for golf, it was allocated to the Buckfield Region program instead, with the understanding that students from Mountain Valley could still participate.

Chad acknowledged that there may have been misunderstandings regarding the program's status and communication with students. He assured attendees that the situation is being investigated, emphasizing that while golf is included in the RSU 10 budget, there isn't enough funding for two separate teams.

As the meeting concluded, the future of the golf program remains uncertain, but the voices of students like Spitzer are making it clear that the sport holds significant value for the community. Further discussions are expected as school officials seek to clarify the situation and explore possible solutions.
