Board member to propose budget amendment to launch middle school wrestling; vote planned next meeting
Summary
Board member Mister Mabry said he will present a budget amendment at the next meeting to create middle school wrestling in the district; details and dollar amount were not provided at this session.
Board member Mister Mabry told the Clarksville-Montgomery County School System board he plans to present a budget amendment at the next meeting to fund the launch of middle school wrestling. "At the next meeting, I'm gonna have a budget amendment that I'm gonna be putting on the agenda to speak about... to be able to launch middle school wrestling," Mabry said.
Mabry said current district wrestling programming is at the high school level and argued earlier development could improve competitive outcomes, noting programs with established middle school pipelines often perform better at the state level. He told the board he would present details and request a vote at the next meeting and invited the wrestling community to attend.
Mabry referenced federal budget funds that he said had been released or were forthcoming, saying a doctor had told him she was confident that roughly "$12,000,000... is gonna get released," but Mabry did not tie a specific dollar amount to the wrestling proposal during this meeting. No formal motion was introduced and no vote was held.
